Mentor Fire conducts training exercise at Great Lakes Mall

To protect lives, the Mentor Police Department will be joining other law enforcement agencies, highway safety officials, and safety advocates across the country in support of the 2013 Click It or Ticket mobilization.

From May 20 through June 2, motorists can expect to receive tickets, not warnings, if officers find them out on the road unbuckled. The Mentor Police Department will be out in force during these times, both day and night.

Seatbelts help save lives. Spread the word to friends and family to buckle up.

Remember, May 20- June 2 — it’s Click it … or Ticket.
