Working to make roadways safer, the Columbus Junction Police Department and Louisa County Sheriff’s Office will take part in the Click It or Ticket Campaign. The initiative is in place through June 5th. In an effort to combat fatality and injury crashes, officers will exhibit zero tolerance for drivers not buckled up, speeding, or driving while distracted or impaired. There will be an increased law enforcement presence on the roads during this time.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 10,893 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in the United States in 2020, with 94 of those in Iowa.
