Another statewide patrol effort starts today.
State Police are teaming up with local law enforcement to conduct a seat belt and child safety seat enforcement period starting today and running through Sunday, June 4.
It's the annual "Buckle up New York" campaign. During the 2-week enforcement period, troopers will supplement regular patrols with special seat belt and child safety details, in addition to conducting safety restraint checkpoints.
Last year's campaign resulted in the issuance of more than 28,000 tickets for adult and child safety restraint violations.
