The Corpus Christi Police Department has the results from the Click It or Ticket campaign for 2013.
Officers from the Corpus Christi Police Department worked 398 overtime hours from May 17 until June 2. The Texas Department of Transportation provided the funding for the $18,494 to pay the overtime for the officers who participated in the Click It or Ticket state campaign.
Corpus Christi Police Officers issued 638 citations for adults not buckled up in the front or back seats of moving vehicles. Officers issued 57 citations for unrestrained children younger than two years old and not in a child safety seat. There were 142 other citations issued for violations such as no insurance, expired registration or expired inspection. Five individuals were arrested, all of whom had outstanding warrants for their arrest.
The Corpus Christi Police Department issued more tickets last year during the Click It or Ticket campaign. The Department hopes that is an indication of voluntary compliance to the seat belt requirement. The Corpus Christi Police Department wants everyone to get to their destination safely and wants everyone to buckle up no matter how short the distance they travel.
