\"\"<\/a>The\u00a0New York State Police will team up with local law enforcement to conduct a seat belt and child safety seat enforcement period starting on Monday, May 22 and running through Sunday, June 4, as part of the annual Buckle Up New York, Click it or Ticket campaign.<\/p>\n

In addition, New York will be among 24 states participating in a Border to Border enforcement campaign, during which law enforcement will set up safety belt checkpoints along highways connecting neighboring states and Canada. This enforcement will take place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, May 22.<\/p>\n

State Police Superintendent George P. Beach II\u00a0said,\u00a0\u201cAs the summer travel season begins, we are joining with our law enforcement partners to strongly encourage the proper use of seat belts and child safety seats in motor vehicles. Wearing a seat belt is a simple measure that dramatically reduces the risk of severe injury or death in a crash. We will continue our efforts to reduce the senseless tragedies caused by those who ignore New York\u2019s seat belt laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the two-week enforcement campaign, the State Police will supplement regular patrols with special seat belt and child safety seat details, in addition to conducting safety restraint checkpoints.<\/p>\n

During last year\u2019s campaign, Troopers and local law enforcement issued more than 28,000 adult and child safety restraint violations.<\/p>\n

Under New York State Law:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
