Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office will be taking part in the “Buckle Up in Your Truck” campaign.

Major Wendell Reborn announced in a statement that IPSO will be taking part in the campaign which will run from April 20 to April 26. A grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission will allow IPSO deputies to work additional hours focusing on seatbelt use in pickup trucks and SUVs. 

Reborn further states that all occupants should be properly restrained with a seatbelt and infants-small children should be in an approved car or booster seat. Drivers are responsible for all passengers in their vehicle and make sure everyone is buckled up or you will get a ticket.
