The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a seatbelt check this week at an undisclosed location in the parish.
”We, at the Sheriff’s Office, feel these checkpoints are a proactive way to ensure the safety of our citizens,” says Sheriff Tony Mancuso. “It has been proven that wearing a seat belt can save a life.”
”Also remember there is a new law in Louisiana that mandates all passengers in a vehicle to be buckled up, even those in the back seat.”
These checkpoints are funded by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.
