2010 "Click It Or Ticket" Campaign

 

Date:

June 10th, 2010

 

 

As most everyone has heard from TV, Radio, Print & Web ads, our department along with many others across the Commonwealth participated in the state's annual "Click It Or Ticket" campaign. This is a traffic enforcement program that started May 24th, ran through the Memorial Day Holiday, and ended last weekend. We have analyzed the data, and it has provided us with a wealth of information that we are releasing today.
 
First of all we are proud to say that even though we had a few injury accidents, no one lost their lives on McCracken County roads during this time frame.
 
We had 25 vehicle collisions this campaign (almost 40% lower than last year.), and 8 people injured (70% lower than last year.) in those collisions.
 
Listed below are the total enforcement actions we are reporting for this program:
 
  3 DUI Arrests
58 Seat Belt Citations
  1 Child Restraint Citation
10 Felony Arrests
44 Fugitives Apprehended
  6 Suspended License Citations
10 No Insurance Citations
33 Speeding Citations
  3 Reckless Driving Citations
12 Drug Arrests
16 Other Misc. Traffic Citations
 
We fully support traffic safety programs like these, and we look forward to participating in several more events this summer and beyond.

 

 

 

 

Thanks,
