Patrol says holiday enforcement to focus on seat belt use

seat-beltLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska State Patrol will again ramp up roadway enforcement this Thanksgiving holiday, focusing on seat belt use.

The patrol is taking part in a nationwide “Click It or Ticket” campaign for the week of Thanksgiving.

The agency says the effort will begin Monday and continue through Nov. 27. During the effort, troopers and communications specialists will put in overtime hours on Nebraska’s roads and highways.

The patrol says a nearly $22,000 grant from the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety will fund extra officers and overtime.
