The Topeka Police Department is participating in the Memorial Day Click It or Ticket traffic enforcement campaign, from May 18th through June 1st in Topeka. The campaign will have Officers focusing on unrestrained drivers, passengers and children traveling on the roadways. This enforcement effort is funded by a Kansas Department of Transportation STEP Grant.
“We want everyone to make it to their destination safely,” said Topeka Police Chief Chris Vallejo. “Seat
belts save lives, and this campaign is about reminding drivers that buckling up is a simple step that can
make all the difference.”
Drivers are urged to do their part by always wearing a seat belt and ensuring all passengers are properly
restrained. Making safe choices behind the wheel can help prevent tragedy and save lives.
