Click It or Ticket

Dexter, Missouri - Dexter Police Department ticketed 4 motorists for not wearing seat belts during the Nov. 25 Click It or Ticket mobilization. Law enforcement agencies throughout Missouri participated in this statewide effort to get more motorists to buckle up — and save more lives.  

During the enforcement effort, officers issued a total of 4 traffic citations including 1 citation for driving while revoked/suspended, 1 for uninsured motorist and 3 other traffic citations.
Despite evidence proving the benefits of wearing a seat belt, nearly one in five Missouri motorists are still not making it click. Even more concerning, six out of ten Missourians killed in traffic crashes are unbuckled.

“Seat belts are your single best defense in a crash,” stated LT Joshua Benton, Dexter PD. “We will continue to encourage drivers to make a simple, smart choice to buckle up and Arrive Alive.”
