Post 7 2008 Highway Safety Mobilization Report

Date of News Release: 06/02/2008

(Richmond, KY) - The Kentucky State Police Post 7 Richmond partnered with other state and local law enforcement agencies in a statewide highway safety mobilization which began May 19^th and ended June 1^st. This statewide initiative was a concerted effort to reduce injury and fatality rates across the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

This mobilization was in conjunction with the national "Click it or Ticket" Campaign. Law enforcement agencies, using crash data, identified areas that have low safety belt usage rates and a high number of vehicle collisions.
