Local public-information officer: $4,000 from state supports Cochise County 'Click It or Ticket' seat-belt outreach

Carol Kappus, a Cochise County public-information officer, said the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety provided $4,000 this year to support 'Click It or Ticket' enforcement and public education in Cochise County. "This year we were the recipient of $4,000 so we can get out there and and make sure that we keep people safe," Kappus said.

Hosts stressed seat-belt safety as a critical measure and noted coordinated enforcement with local police during busy travel periods. They tied the outreach to recent traffic incidents in the county and urged listeners to buckle up.

The segment framed the funding as a typical state-supported traffic-safety grant used to combine enforcement and education; specific planned uses beyond outreach and enforcement were not detailed on air.
