Today, the Prospect Park Police Department had the pleasure of hosting first-grade students from Public School #1 for a tour of headquarters. During the visit, the children explored the police cars, prompting some residents to call headquarters out of concern about the sirens being activated and the children speaking over the loudspeaker. The students then showcased their artistic skills by drawing in the parking lot with chalk.

The Prospect Park Police Department will join with police from around the country in cracking down on unbuckled motorists and passengers as part of the national “Click it or Ticket” campaign.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is urging drivers to buckle up ahead of the national Click It or Ticket seat belt safety campaign. The national high-visibility enforcement effort, which coincides with the Memorial Day holiday, runs from May 18 through May 31, 2026.
In 2024, 9,758 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants were killed in traffic crashes across the country.The national seat belt use rate in 2024 was 91.2%, a strong number, but one that can still improve.The remaining 8.8% of motorists and passengers need to be reminded that seat belts save lives.
Participating law enforcement agencies will take a “no excuse” approach to seat belt enforcement, issuing citations both day and night.
One of the key focuses of the Click It or Ticket campaign is nighttime enforcement. NHTSA data shows a higher number of unrestrained occupant fatalities occur at night, with 56% occurring between the hours of 6:00 PM and 5:59 AM. Among males killed in crashes in 2023, more than half (53%) were not restrained. Among females killed in crashes, 41% were not buckled up.

Buckle Up the Right Way:
• Place the shoulder belt across the middle of the chest and away from the neck.
• Lay the lap belt across the hips and not the stomach.
• NEVER place the seat belt behind the back or under arms.
