Wall Township Police Department Participates in Regional “Click It or Ticket” Kickoff Event Ahead of 2026 Campaign
The Wall Township Police Department proudly participated in a regional “Click It or Ticket” kickoff event held on May 4, 2026, at Citizens Bank Park in advance of the nationwide enforcement campaign.
The event was hosted by Pennsylvania Department of Transportation in coordination with regional partners from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware to reinforce the importance of seat belt use and demonstrate a unified law enforcement commitment to roadway safety across the region. Lieutenant Miles Shanklin and Lieutenant Andrew Baldino were honored to represent the department at the event, which underscored the importance of interagency collaboration in promoting traffic safety and reducing preventable injuries and fatalities on our roadways.
The “Click It or Ticket” campaign, coordinated nationally by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, combines public awareness initiatives with high-visibility enforcement to increase seat belt usage.
During the campaign period from May 11 through May 31, 2026, Wall Township Police officers will conduct targeted enforcement details focused on identifying drivers and passengers who are not properly restrained. Motorists should expect increased patrols and a zero-tolerance approach toward seat belt violations. We encourage all motorists to ensure that they and their passengers are properly restrained at all times. New Jersey law requires all vehicle occupants to wear a properly adjusted and fastened seat belt. Violators are subject to fines and penalties.
The Wall Township Police Department remains committed to proactive enforcement and public education efforts. For more information about the “Click It or Ticket” campaign, please visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website at www.nhtsa.gov. ... See MoreSee Less
