CUSTER COUNTY- The Custer County Sheriff’s Office will be participating in the “And Then It Clicked” campaign from May 20 to June 2, 2024. The “And Then It Clicked” campaign, formerly known as “Click It Or Ticket”, is a campaign designed to remind drivers and passengers to buckle up every time they get in a vehicle.
Over memorial weekend especially, the Custer County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement offices across local and state lines will be focused on watching for seat belt violations. Custer County Sheriff Dan Osmond says that if a violation is found, they will issue a citation to get the message across of the dangers of not wearing a seat belt.
“If there is a violation we’ll issue a citation for it… The idea behind the citation is not that I want to cost you money or anything, but it is a time when we want to enforce the idea of seatbelts and that they can save your life,” said Sheriff Osmond.
Officers around the country have seen the effect of not wearing seat belts and hope that with this campaign more people become aware of the risk they take when they don’t buckle up.
“We just want to reinforce the idea and just ask people to put their seat belt on and it could definitely save them or one of their passenger’s lives,” Sheriff Osmond stated.
