SYRACUSE – The Otoe County Sheriff’s Office is participating in the national Click It or Ticket enforcement this fall.

The national seatbelt campaign, which coincides with the Thanksgiving holiday, runs from Nov. 24 to Nov. 28.

According to the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office, there were 132 unbuckled occupants killed in crashes in Nebraska in 2020. In comparison to other states, Nebraska had the fourth worst observed seatbelt usage in the United States.

Sheriff Colin Caudill said law enforcement will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt enforcement, writing citations day and night.
