Sheriff Matt Rice announces Faulkner County Sheriff's Office is teaming up with the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA), participating in the Thanksgiving Holiday "Click It or Ticket" mobilization. 

Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel times of the year, when millions of Americans hit the road to spend time with friends and family.  But more vehicles on the road means potential for more crashes and more fatalities.

The Click It or Ticket campaign is designed to save lives by making sure all Faulkner County drivers and passengers get the message to wear their seat belts.  The campaign combines powerful messages about seat belt safety with increased patrolling for all unbuckled motorists.

You very well may see a Faulkner County Deputy writing a ticket for failure to wear a seat belt.  The question is, will you be the one they stop?  Deputies will be out specifically for this effort.  Wear your seat belt.  Stay safe.  Stay legal.
