Buckle Up Program on Forks Police Radar

Wear your seat belt.

With the Memorial Day holiday weekend approaching, Forks Township will be among local police departments throughout the Lehigh Valley and region that will be promoting—and enforcing—seat belt safety.

Forks Township Police Chief Greg Dorney said that through a grant from the state's Buckle Up Pa. program, his department will be focused even more on seat belt usage from now through June 9.

Dorney told the Board of Supervisors at Thursday night's meeting that his department received a couple thouand dollars for seat belt enforcement and roving patrols.

Dorney said he reviewed township motor vehicle crash data and will have his officers out checking key points in Forks Township throughout that time period.

"We will target those areas," he said.
