Police Commissioner Ernest J. Cipullo announces that from May 23 through June 5, the Garden City Police Department will be conducting their second Buckle Up New York enforcement wave this year.

Commissioner Cipullo states that the enforcement of seat belt and child restraint laws saves lives. During this enforcement initiative, highly visible patrols and checkpoints will be conducted targeting non-compliance to occupant restraint laws, including child safety seat laws.

"The goal of the Garden City Police Department’s Occupant Restraint Enforcement Program is to drastically reduce personal injuries and fatalities due to auto accidents through education and enforcement," he said.
