Click It AND Ticket
The Spokane County Target Zero Task Force is working with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission and State Farm Insurance on a statewide educational campaign called, "Click It AND Ticket". The campaign will focus on educating and encouraging teens to wear seat-belts!
How the campaign works...students who arrive at school will be given a "ticket" for wearing a seatbelt. The "ticket" is similar to a real seat belt citation but the "ticket" is actually a entry into a drawing for one lucky student to win a $124.00 Debit Card!! To date, two area high schools have participated (Liberty High School and University High School).
Spokane, WA - Saturday, November 20, 2009 - Law enforcement agencies across Spokane County and Whitman County will be on the lookout for those folks choosing to drive under the influence of alcohol and drugs. These extra patrols are a multi-jurisdictional emphasis between the following agencies: Spokane County Sheriff's Office, Spokane Police Department, Spokane Valley Police Department, WA State Patrol, Whitman County Sheriff's Office, WSU Police Department and Pullman Police Department.
Saturday's patrols kick off the new year of X52 DUI Patrols. The X52 "Holiday Campaign" begins November 19, 2009 and continues through to January 2, 2010.
