CATLETTSBURG
The Boyd County Sheriffâs Department has announced it will participate in the âClick It or Ticketâ campaign to enforce motoring laws, primarily seat belts and intoxicated driving.
The enforcement effort will run from May 24 to June 6, just in time for the Memorial Day holiday.
âWe see first-hand severe injuries or loss of life when adults do not wear a seat belt or children are not properly restrained in a child seat or booster,â said BCSD Sergeant Steve Lake. âOur hope is that buckling up becomes the automatic first step for everyone when entering a vehicle.â
The sheriffâs department will be conducting checkpoints to check for suspected DUIs, licensing, registration, insurance, seat belt and child restraint violations and equipment violations.
