The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office will be enforcing seat belt laws from Nov. 14-Dec. 10.

Deputies will be watching for drivers and other occupants in vehicles who are not wearing their seat belts and children who are not properly secured in car or booster seat.

According to the National Highway Safety Administration, 12,584 lives were saved by wearing seat belts, yet 49 percent of occupants who were killed in 2013 weren’t restrained.
