GRAND FORKS POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BEGIN “CLICK IT OR TICKET” CAMPAIGN

To keep our roadways safe, The Grand Forks Police Department will participate in a “Click it or Ticket” Enforcement Campaign, which will involve selective traffic enforcement by several officers looking specifically for seatbelt violations.

Law enforcement will work targeted enforcement shifts from November 1 to December 14. The primary goal of this campaign is to ensure motorists are utilizing their safety belts while operating their vehicles within Grand Forks. The ND DOT funds this program and will allow additional officers to be explicitly assigned to enforce this type of violation during this campaign.

The Grand Forks Police Department wants to remind the public that seatbelt violations are now a primary reason to conduct a traffic stop. All passengers inside a vehicle must be wearing a seatbelt as well.
