Welcome!

 

The Mayville Police Department will be mobilizing with 400 other law enforcement agencies throughout the state for this year’s Click It or Ticket Safety Belt Enforcement taking place from May 21st through June 3rd.

Officers will intensify their enforcement of Wisconsin’s mandatory safety belt law. “We’re serious about safety belt enforcement; it saves lives and prevents injuries.” Chief MacNeill.

The Mayville Police Departments goal during Click It or Ticket and throughout the year is not to write more tickets, but through enforcement and education, convince everyone to buckle up voluntarily so that eventually we can reduce the number of preventable traffic deaths to zero in Wisconsin. However, if voluntary compliance fails and people ignore the law as well as common sense, we will provide a very convincing reminder about wearing their safety belts.

Law enforcement agencies throughout the state are cracking down on unbelted motorists.  Last year, there were nearly 85,000 convictions for failure to fasten safety belts. Among all traffic violations, safety belt convictions in Wisconsin were second only to speeding convictions, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.

“So Please, buckle up each and every time you get into a vehicle.” Chief MacNeill
