The Oregon City Police Department participated in the statewide Safety Belt Blitz that ran from February 1st through February 14th. Law enforcement agencies throughout Oregon used federally funded overtime to educate the public about proper safety belt use, proper child safety seat use, texting, and speed.
During the blitz, Oregon City Officers issued 73 citations and 33 warnings. Officers wrote 2 citations for failure to use or improper use of a seatbelt, 25 citations for speeding, 6 citations for driving while suspended, and 40 other violations. Two drivers were arrested because their driving privileges were criminally suspended.
The Oregon City Police Department wants to remind everyone to wear their seatbelt while operating or riding in a motor vehicle, be aware of your surroundings when operating a motor vehicle and avoid distracted driving by not using your mobile electronic device.
