Livermore Police Dept Occupant Protection is the Traffic Safety Topic for June 2011
The Livermore Police Department will be focusing its traffic enforcement efforts during the month of June on occupant protection violations. Officers will be looking for drivers and passengers who are not properly restrained in their vehicles. Even though Livermore’s last seatbelt use rate survey revealed a 99% compliance rate we still continue to find drivers and passengers not properly wearing seatbelts. There have been only two fatal collisions in Livermore since November of 2008. In both collisions, the people who were killed were not wearing their seatbelts. Had they been properly restrained in their vehicles, we believe they would have survived the collisions.
The Livermore Police Department hopes that by continually educating the public on the importance of being properly restrained while traveling in a motor vehicle we can reduce the number of injuries and deaths resulting from traffic collisions in our community.
In addition to the dedicated enforcement efforts looking for unrestrained drivers and passengers, the Livermore Police Department continues to work to educate parents about properly restraining their children in their vehicles. It is crucial that a child’s car/booster seat is installed correctly. This is why the Livermore Police Department offers free monthly car seat checks. The car seat check for June will be held on Thursday June 9th. For an appointment call Officer Traci Rebiejo at (925) 371-4858.
The Livermore Police Department is committed to traffic safety and the safety of our citizens. We appreciate our partnerships that we share with the community and the Office of Traffic Safety toward this goal. Please buckle up and buckle up your family when traveling in a motor vehicle.
The Livermore Police Department will be conducting several seatbelt and car seat enforcement operations during the month of June.
