MSP Join in Effort to Protect Residents Against “Scary” Things

The latest safety effort by the Michigan State Police is targeting a younger generation and using Halloween-type fun to help.

The agency has announced that it's latest statewide "Click It Or Ticket" enforcement begins today with a reminder to make sure something extra is included in any zombie apocalypse survival kit--a seat belt.

"Seat belts are the best and primary defense in the event of a crash, zombie-related or not," said Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning director Michael Prince.

The new Halloween-related campaign highlights the stepped-up enforcement of officers in 26 Michigan counties incorporating the use of a youtube video..

The counties involved include: Allegan, Berrien, Calhoun, Chippewa, Delta, Eaton, Genesee, Grand Traverse, Houghton, Ingham, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Kent, Livingston, Macomb, Marquette, Monroe, Muskegon, Oakland, Ottawa, Saginaw, St. Clair, Van Buren, Washtenaw, Wayne and Wexford .

The effort will run through November 9th.

The program, which utilizes federal dollars, was put into place by Governor Snyder back in 2013
