Operation Pullover

Operation Pull Over is a combined public information and enforcement campaign, which aims to reduce impaired driving and increase seat belt use in Indiana.

The campaign is structured in four quarterly blitzes, or waves of education and awareness, each year.

Each blitz consists of four weeks of intense public awareness followed by two weeks of increased enforcement. The DUI Task Force is one focus of Operation Pull Over. Another is the "Click it or Ticket" program for seatbelt safety.

To save more lives on Indiana roads, the Governor's Council on Impaired and Dangerous Driving, a division of the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, implemented the "Click It or Ticket" seat belt campaign.

"Click It or Ticket" uses high visibility enforcement, aggressive public information and education and intense media coverage to send the message to motorists that if they do not comply with Indiana's seat belt and child restraint laws, they will receive a ticket.

The Click It or Ticket campaign depends heavily on educational media messages to create public awareness that seat belts save lives and to let people know they are more likely to receive a ticket if they or their children are not buckled up properly. Research has shown, however, that media messages alone are not enough - behavior change increases when media messages are followed by highly visible efforts to enforce the law.

State, county and municipal law enforcement agencies have ZERO TOLERANCE for those motorists who don't comply with Indiana's laws. It's not about writing tickets. It's about SAVING LIVES on Indiana's roadways. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS. NO EXCUSES, if you are stopped for violating the law.
