As part of the The ‘Click It or Ticket’ seat belt safety campaign the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting a high visibility safety checkpoint on Highway 6 just west of 98th Street from 3-8 p.m. Wednesday, May 26.
The sheriff’s office says vehicles will be selected in a systematic fashion and checked to make sure all the proper documentation is in the vehicle and all occupants are properly restrained. Following the safety checkpoint, the deputies involved will continue enforcement efforts on an individual basis from 8:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m.
Beginning Friday, May 28, 2021, thru Sunday, June 06, 2021, the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office will have additional deputies working on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. These additional deputies will be utilized for saturation patrol to enforce traffic law violations throughout Lancaster County in marked patrol cars from 4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.
Overtime for the additional deputies working during the mobilization will be paid through a mini-grant funded by the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office.
