Lehighton Borough Police Department participated in joint seat belt and impaired driving enforcement activities as part of the “Click It or Ticket” campaign for May 2024.

Unbelted and impaired driving crashes are shown to be significant contributors to traffic injuries and deaths, especially during nighttime hours.

Lehighton Police units concentrated their efforts on May 13 during the day, and May 23 during the evening hours.

There were 43 vehicles stopped, 28 citations issued, 24 warnings issued, five seat belt violations cited and one driver taken into custody for a felony warrant.
