Just like a safety belt protects you in a vehicle, a helmet protects you while cycling. Don’t skip that lifesaving piece of equipment – always wear a helmet.

Last week, Tpr. Weaver and Sgt. Hamilton gave a #DRIVEToLive presentation following the mock crash to approximately 200 students on the importance of making good decisions and the consequences of bad decisions.

Today is National Peace Officers Memorial Day. It is an opportunity to honor and remember those law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as the family members, friends and fellow officers who carry their legacy.

Yesterday, Toledo Post troopers joined public safety partners, medical professionals and community members at the 2024 Lucas Co #ClickItOrTicket kickoff. The event hosted by Toledo-Lucas County Health Department at the The University of Toledo Medical Center was meant to further awareness to the importance of safety belt usage.

#GlobalYouthTrafficSafetyMonth is an excellent time for teen drivers and their parents to discuss the importance of safe driving. By discussing potential risks together, parents are ensuring their children stay safe behind the wheel.

From the first click when you get in a vehicle, all the way to your arrival at your destination, safety belts are the best tools at our disposal to ensure a safe journey for us and our loved ones. #ClickItOrTicket #BuckleUp

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at the Ohio State Highway Patrol! And happy Mother's Day to the many moms who are part of our Division!
