Thousands of drivers were on the road over the Thanksgiving holiday and Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) Troopers were running a special Click It or Ticket enforcement in conjunction with many other law enforcement agencies across the state made possible by an $18,000 grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.
Beginning on Monday, Nov. 20 and going through Sunday, Nov. 26 the campaign took place in all NSP Troop Areas.
