Click It Or Ticket Returns

The Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office will join law enforcement agencies across the country to
reinforce the lifesaving benefit of wearing a seat belt. The Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office will
patrol for longer hours during the Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign, which runs from May 23
through June 5, 2022.

“Our goal is to save lives, not just hand out tickets,” Sheriff James Kowalczyk said. “Buckling up
is one of the easiest and most effective steps you can take to survive a crash. It’s not just a safe
thing to do. It’s the law.”

Wisconsin’s primary seat belt law allows law enforcement to stop and cite motorists for failing to
wear a seat belt. Drivers can also be cited for every unbuckled passenger in their vehicle.
Penalties are higher for transporting unrestrained children. Failure to fasten a seat belt is among
the most common traffic violations in Wisconsin. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO.
