Seatbelt Checkpoint in Calcasieu Parish Saturday, May 25

As they participate in the national “Click It or Ticket” campaign, the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office (CPSO) is set to conduct a seatbelt checkpoint at an undisclosed location in the parish, on Saturday, May 25.

The checkpoint will target vehicle occupants not wearing their seatbelt. Louisiana law mandates that all passengers in a vehicle are to be buckled up, even those in the back seat.

Individuals driving under the influence of alcohol and/or narcotics will also be targeted during the checkpoint.

Buckle up and drive safely this Memorial Day weekend.
