Orland Park police are teaming up with law enforcement agencies across the state for the 2026 “Click It or Ticket” campaign running June 19 through July 6 for the Independence Day period.
“Buckle up every trip, every time,” Police Chief Eric Rossi said. “Seat belts save lives, and we are committed to keeping our roads safe,” Rossi said.
Officers will be conducting high-visibility enforcement day and night, focusing on seat belt violations. Motorists who fail to buckle up can expect to be stopped and ticketed.
Illinois law requires all drivers and passengers to wear seat belts. While usage has increased to 93 percent in 2025, unrestrained fatalities remain a concern – especially at night, the chief said.
The “Click It or Ticket” initiative is funded with federal highway safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
