University Police is in the midst of an annual campaign, deploying special patrols to look for motorists who are not wearing their seatbelts.

Buckle-Up Day and Night runs through April 29 at SUNY Oswego. This is part of the nationwide effort that traditionally takes place in May, but University Police is granted a variation to run the campaign earlier due to the college Commencement in mid-May.

The patrols are funded by a grant from the federal government through the New York State Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee.
