SPD Announces SAFE Campaign Participation 2019

01年23月19日投稿。

The Sevierville Police Department is partnering with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) for its fifth annual Seatbelts Are For Everyone (SAFE) campaign. This statewide initiative is designed to increase seatbelt usage and child passenger safety restraint usage through the implementation of occupant-protection programs, public events, and checkpoints throughout local communities across Tennessee. The SAFE campaign begins February 1 and concludes August 1.

 

“In Tennessee, about 50% of traffic fatalities each year are unbelted,” said SPD Chief Joseph Manning. “This just isn’t acceptable. Please help us save lives by ensuring that you, your children, family and friends use their seatbelts and child safety seats every time you travel.”

2019 will be the sixth year that the THSO has sponsored the SAFE campaign.

「2016年のテネシー州の平均シートベルト着用率は88.95パーセントでした」とTHSOディレクターのヴィック・ドノホ氏は述べた。 「昨年、州の使用率は 88.51 パーセントに減少しました。私たちの今年の目標は、SAFE キャンペーンやその他の乗員保護活動を通じて、テネシー州全域でシートベルト着用率 100% を達成することです。」

In Tennessee, a disproportionate percentage of unrestrained fatalities tend to occur between the hours of 6:00PM and 5:59AM. Historically, approximately fifty percent of Tennessee’s traffic fatalities are unbelted. That percentage increases to nearly sixty when nighttime crashes are examined. Therefore, participating agencies will focus special attention toward nighttime seatbelt enforcement during the SAFE campaign this year.
