DETROIT (AP) — Police agencies in the Midwest are among those planning stepped up enforcement of seat belt and other traffic safety laws around Thanksgiving.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says state police from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio are participating in a holiday period mobilization. The “Click It or Ticket” effort is scheduled to begin Thursday and run through Sunday.

More details about the seat belt enforcement campaign are posted online by the traffic safety agency.
