Seat belt law enforcement to intensify
As part of a statewide effort to reduce the number of preventable traffic deaths to "Zero In Wisconsin," the New Berlin Police Department has intensified its safety belt enforcement efforts. That effort will continue until Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7.
"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," Chief Joseph Rieder wrote in a news release. "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."
The "Zero In Wisconsin" traffic safety campaign is sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
The Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin Clinics-New Berlin blog offers health and safety guidelines, as well as tips on injury prevention, seasonal health, parenting and resources for families.
