Teens Reminded to Buckle Up and Arrive Alive

Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter Police Department participated in the statewide youth seat belt mobilization conducted March 15-31. During the enforcement effort, officers issued a total of 27 seatbelt tickets

 

“Seat belts are your single best defense in a crash,” stated Chief Trevor Pulley. “Law enforcement will continue to encourage drivers to make a simple, smart choice to buckle up and Arrive Alive.” 

Despite evidence proving the benefits of wearing a seat belt, 26 percent of teens do not buckle up. Seven out of ten Missouri teens killed in traffic crashes are unbuckled
