The Duluth Police Department along with the Governors Office of Highway Safety will be holding a seatbelt checkpoint on Oct. 23 at 2 p.m. The check point will be at or near Brock Road in Duluth. Duluth Officers from the COPS Division and HEAT Unit will be checking vehicles for passenger seat safety belt usage and providing safety information. Teen drivers found utilizing seat belts will be awarded a coupon for a free sandwich from Chick fil-A Howell Station.
Members for the Duluth Police Department's HEAT Unit will be on hand to issue citations to drivers not buckled up as a part of the Governor's Office of Highway Safety's "Click it or Ticket" campaign. The Duluth Police Heat Unit is funded by the Governor's Office of Highway Safety and specializes in accident/injury reduction through aggressive traffic enforcement.
The Georgia Teen Safe Driving program was designed by the Duluth Police Department in 2000 in partnership with GOHS and Chick fil-A. Within two years, the program started in Duluth became a statewide initiative.
