New Berlin Police to Intensify Safety Belt Enforcement
New Berlin Police to intensify safety belt enforcement
As part of a statewide effort to reduce the number of preventable traffic deaths to “Zero In Wisconsin,” the New Berlin Police Department will intensify its safety belt enforcement efforts from now until Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 7, 2010.
“Our intensified safety belt enforcement during this period and throughout the year will help save lives and reduce serious injuries from traffic crashes. Any preventable traffic death or injury is one too many,” says Chief Joseph Rieder. “Our goal is not to write more tickets but to increase voluntary compliance with the mandatory safety belt law. That’s why we want all drivers and passengers to buckle up voluntarily. But if they don’t wear a safety belt, we’re always ready to stop their vehicle and give them a ticket.”
In conjunction with efforts by local law enforcement agencies, the Zero In Wisconsin traffic safety campaign, sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, will broadcast new television and radio messages featuring Packers wide receiver Donald Driver. In these “hard-hitting” messages, the Packers’ all-time leader in career receptions will tell the reasons why he always wears his seat belt—every trip, every time.
