This education enforcement period comes ahead of the Memorial Day holiday, one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.According to research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, while 88.5 percent of passenger vehicle occupants buckled up in 2015, almost 50 percent of occupants of fatal crashes nationwide are not restrained. In some states, the rate is as high as 70 percent unrestrained in fatal crashes. In California, more than a half million people travel our roadways at grave risk without proper restraints. These facts gravely highlight the need for increased education, awareness and enforcement and awareness of seat belt use.This year, NHTSA is aiming to increase campaign participation even more by coordinating a “Coast to Coast” seat belt education and enforcement effort with the California Highway Patrol and law enforcement around the I-10, I-40, I-70 and I-80 corridors. Additionally, law enforcement agencies statewide are joining the Click It or Ticket effort to emphasize the “Coast to Coast” seat belt safety awareness campaign in all 50 states.“As law enforcement, we have a special role in helping protect the safety of our citizens, from the East to the West Coast,” said Chief Toney Chaplin, San Francisco Police Department. “Time after time, we see the deadly results that come from drivers and passengers refusing to wear a seat belt. Wearing a seat belt is one of the most important steps in increasing survivability in a crash. Our job is to stop those who are not buckled up, and to keep them from repeating this potentially deadly mistake.”In 2014, nearly half of the 21,022 passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes nationally were unrestrained, according to NHTSA. During the nighttime hours of 6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m., that number increased to 57 percent of those killed. Law enforcement agencies will write citations day and night, with a zero-tolerance approach.“Hundreds of thousands of citizens will be traveling this Memorial Day weekend, as well as throughout the summer vacation season. We want to make sure that people are buckling up to keep themselves and their families safe. It is the greatest defense in a vehicle crash,” said Rhonda Craft, Director of the California Office of Traffic Safety.For more information on the Click It or Ticket campaign, please visit www.nhtsa.gov/ciot.
Arrests:No Incidents to Report.Serious Incidents:12:10am Unit Blk Mirabel Hot Prowl BurglaryA woman, half asleep on a sofa in her living room, heard what she thought was her dining room window opening. She initially thought it was her husband and son returning home and didn’t react. Sometime later she heard someone rummaging around the 1st floor bathroom which faces the living room. The woman opened her eyes but again thought it was her son and didn’t get up. Then, shortly thereafter, she head the dining room window open again and realized the noise was from an intruder. The woman screamed and her husband and son quickly came running downstairs. The family called police and Ingleside Officers Kellogg, Chang, and Kovitprakornkul responded.
