SPD Announces SAFE Campaign Participation 2019

פורסם ב-01-23-19.

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.

"בשנת 2016, שיעור השימוש הממוצע בחגורת בטיחות בטנסי היה 88.95 אחוזים", אמר מנהל THSO ויק דונוהו. "בשנה שעברה ירד שיעור השימוש במדינה ל-88.51 אחוז. המטרה שלנו השנה היא להשיג 100 אחוז שימוש בחגורות בטיחות ברחבי טנסי באמצעות קמפיין SAFE ויוזמות אחרות להגנה על דיירים".

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.
