Pella PD Cars August 2015
The Pella Police Department and other police agencies are encouraging safe driving this Memorial Day Weekend.

Lt. Paul Haase tells KNIA/KRLS they will have extra enforcement on area roadways to keep everyone traveling as safe as possible.

“One of our major focuses will on the governor’s click it or ticket campaign, which is concentrating on seat belt usage,” Haase says. “Many fatality accidents occur because many occupants in the vehicle are not using their seatbelts.”

Haase says beyond seatbelt violations, officers will also be looking for speeders, distracted drivers, and those under the influence.

Area law enforcement encourages a safe holiday weekend.
