Police Promote Seatbelt Use Among Area Teenagers With Special Focus On March 31

Members of the Duluth, Hermantown, and Proctor Police Departments will be canvassing area high schools on Monday, March 31 to promote the use of seatbelts while in moving vehicles.

The program is part of the “I Got Caught” seatbelt campaign sponsored by AAA.  The aim is to remind teenagers to wear their seatbelts to help Minnesota work towards zero deaths in traffic related crashes.  During the event, police officers will be at area high schools watching for students wearing their seatbelts and handing out Dairy Queen Blizzard certificates along with bracelets.
