Brockton Police Launch Effort To Reduce Motor Vehicle Injuries and Fatalities By Increasing Seat Belt Use
Brockton, MA – The Brockton police department, in partnership with the Highway Safety Division of the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, the Massachusetts State Police, and up to 200 other Massachusetts local police departments, will take part in the national Click It or Ticket campaign between May 8th and May 29th. This high-visibility mobilization will promote seat belt use through increased traffic enforcement in an effort to reduce motor vehicle deaths and injuries.
“More people buckling up means more lives saved,” said Chief Crowley “Our officers will be out enforcing the seat belt and child passenger safety laws so that fewer people are needlessly injured or killed in crashes in Brockton.”
Massachusetts seat belt usage is significantly lower than the national average – 78 percent compared to 90 percent, according to the state’s annual seat belt observation study.
Sixty-four percent of the 172 people killed in motor vehicle crashes on Massachusetts roads in 2015 were known to be unrestrained, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Seatbelts saved an estimated 72 lives in Massachusetts in 2015, according to NHTSA, and an additional 41 deaths could have been prevented if seatbelt usage was at 100%.
“The simple act of buckling up will give you a fighting chance in the event of a crash – increasing your chances of surviving by at least fifty percent,” said Jeff Larason, Director of the Highway Safety Division. “We’re asking all drivers to protect themselves by wearing a seatbelt on every trip – short or long, day and night – and to keep their eyes on the road.”

Coffee with a Cop is a national movement that aims to build trust between community members and police officers, one cup of coffee at a time. It’s a simple concept: Police officers and community members come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues, build relationships, and drink coffee. In over 80 cities in 24 states, Coffee with a Cop has done wonders for community trust and partnership building. One of the keys to Coffee with a Cop’s success is that is removes the physical barriers that routinely exist between police officers and community members, allowing for the relaxed, one-on-one interactions which are the necessary foundation of partnerships.
The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies, or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction. Informal contact in a friendly atmosphere increases trust between police officers and the members of our community which is critical to public safety and problem solving. Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the department’s work in Brockton’s neighborhoods.

This event will include a Hidden in Plain Sight exhibit, which will be presented by The Brockton Mayor’s Opioid Overdose Prevention Coalition. Adults are encouraged to explore and interact with the display designed to resemble a teenager’s bedroom. Throughout the exhibit are items that may indicate a teenager is involved in some high-risk behavior such as substance abuse, underage drinking, eating disorders, sexual activity and more. Participants will be enlightened, educated and astonished. There is no charge to attend the program.
NotMYkid is a 45 minute drug awareness presentation for parents of middle schools students, with prevention in mind. The presentation will guide you through how to have a conversation with your child about drugs. This presentation is geared toward the educational needs of all parents which is why we call it notMYkid, as all kids are affected by drugs and alcohol. Please sign up to learn the current trends, slang that children are using, and other statistics you should be aware of. One crucial component of this program is education of parents in locking up prescription medicines to help prevent opioid addictions on the South Shore.
Registration open to ALL parents, primarily geared toward parents/guardians/care takers of middle and high school children. Children will NOT be allowed to attend. Babysitting available upon request, must email: nancy@brocktonpolice.com with age(s) of children.
