The Lawrence County Sheriff's Office will be joining efforts with statewide law enforcement April 13 for an aggressive "Click It or Ticket" mobilization to get motorists to buckle up - and save more lives.

Despite evidence proving the benefits of wearing a seat belt, nearly one in four Missouri motorists are still not making it click.  Seven out of ten Missourians killed in traffic crashes are unbuckled.

"Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up Click It or Ticket enforcement," said Sheriff Brad DeLay.  "We'll be out there to remind you seat belts can - and do - save lives."
