Shrewsbury Police Kick Off 'Click It Or Ticket' Campaign
You should always buckle up, but especially during this special enforcement period in Shrewsbury.
SHREWSBURY, MA — Shrewsbury police this week began a special enforcement program focused on seatbelt use.
The "click it or ticket" campaign will last through the end of May, and will feature Shrewsbury officers focused only on seatbelt enforcement. A state grant is paying for the special patrols, which will come on top of the regular number of officers on duty in a given day.
Shrewsbury will be among thousands of police departments across the nation focusing on seatbelt enforcement in May and especially around the Memorial Day holiday, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
