Buffalo County to Participate in “Make It Click” Safety Mobilization

The Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office has been awarded a traffic safety grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office, allowing additional deputies to take part in the National Make It Click Mobilization from May 15–31, 2026.

During the Memorial Day travel period, extra deputies will be out at select locations across Buffalo County focusing on traffic safety - especially seatbelt use. This isn’t about numbers or citations; it’s about preventing tragedies on our roadways. Nebraska continues to see an increase in unrestrained occupants involved in crashes, and too many families have been forever changed because of it.

Our goal is simple: help keep Buffalo County residents and their families safe on the roads during this year’s Memorial Day holiday. Seatbelts remain one of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce serious injuries and deaths in a crash.

We appreciate the continued support of our community and hope everyone has a safe, buckle-up-every-trip holiday and summer.
