The Caddo Sheriff's Office will take part in a statewide seat belt enforcement campaign designed to educate drivers and passengers about the importance of wearing seat belts. This campaign will run from May 19 to June 1 and is funded by a grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.

Caddo deputies will engage in high-visibility enforcement to raise awareness of seat belt usage and laws, aiming to reduce injuries and fatalities on the road. They will join other law enforcement officers across the state in monitoring for unrestrained drivers and passengers.

Seat belts are proven to be one of the most effective ways to save lives in a crash. Failing to wear a seat belt can influence young people to adopt the dangerous habit of not buckling up. The "Click It or Ticket" campaign emphasizes safety, education, strong laws, and law enforcement support to save lives.
