INDIANAPOLIS -- “Click It or Ticket” campaign reminds Hoosiers to buckle up!

The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) is partnering with Indiana State Police (ISP) and local law enforcement agencies across the state to urge Hoosiers to buckle up as part of the national “Click It or Ticket” campaign, a high-visibility enforcement effort focused on increasing seat belt use.

Beginning May 11 through May 31, 2026, officers will work overtime to ensure drivers and passengers are using their seat belts and children are properly secured. The overtime patrols are funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through ICJI’s Comprehensive Highway Injury Reduction Program (CHIRP).

“Buckling up is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and your loved ones on the road,” said Douglas Huntsinger, executive director of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. “Seat belts save lives every day, and every trip should begin with making sure everyone is secured before hitting the road.”
