PRE-CAMPAIGN NEWS RELEASE
For Immediate Release: May 4, 2026

Brake for Seat Belts

“Click It or Ticket” Enforcement Campaign

The Doniphan Police Department will join law enforcement agencies across Missouri from May 18–31, 2026, for the statewide “Click It or Ticket” mobilization. This initiative focuses on increasing enforcement of Missouri’s seat belt laws and encouraging all motorists to buckle up.

In 2025, more than half of the individuals killed in Missouri traffic crashes were not wearing a seat belt. Despite continued advancements in vehicle safety technology, seat belts remain the single most effective way to reduce the risk of serious injury or death in a crash.

While Missouri’s seat belt usage rate has improved over the past five years, it still falls slightly below the national average. Current data shows Missouri at 88.5% usage, compared to the 91.2% national average (2024). Seat belt use is lowest among teens and pickup truck drivers, with compliance rates of 74.0% and 75.3%, respectively.

“Nearly every day, someone loses their life in a Missouri traffic crash simply because they were not wearing a seat belt,” said Corporal Kevin Vaillancourt. “During this campaign, we will be taking a proactive approach to enforcement to ensure motorists are making the safe and responsible choice to buckle up.”

The Doniphan Police Department encourages all drivers and passengers to Buckle Up and Arrive Alive.

🚨 Winter Weather Reminder 🚨

With winter weather approaching our area, the Doniphan Police Department would like to remind everyone to please use extreme caution. If at all possible, stay home and avoid unnecessary travel once conditions begin to deteriorate.

Roads may become slick and dangerous quickly, and emergency services are expected to be busy responding to weather-related calls. Limiting travel helps keep you safe and allows first responders to assist those who truly need emergency help.

Please plan ahead, check on elderly neighbors if you can do so safely, and remember—no destination is worth risking your life.

Stay safe and stay warm, Doniphan. ❄️🚔
