Department:	Constable Precinct 2

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to accept a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation in the amount of $5,000.00 for the 2017 Click it or Ticket Campaign, designating the Webb County Judge as the authorized official in all matters related to this grant; and any other matter incident thereto. This grant requires no match.

Issue: Texas Law requires drivers and passengers regardless of where they are seated in a vehicle to be secured by a safety belt or a safety seat for children under the age of 8, unless they are 4 feet 9 inches tall. However many drivers and passengers off all ages continue to ride in a motor vehicle without a safety belt or safety seat.

Solution: Constable Pct. 2 has been awarded a state grant so it can join forces with other State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies to aggressively enforce the seat belt laws in Webb County.

Result: The end result will be to enforce the seat belt law during the enforcement period, and more importantly educate the public and reduce the number of deaths due to the failure of seat belt use.
