Grays Harbor County - Grays Harbor County Law Enforcement agencies have recently received a $13,000 grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission to conduct additional seat belt patrols this fall.

Part of the funding will support the upcoming Nighttime Seat Belt Emphasis patrols between October 23 and November 8. The remaining funding provides sustained seat belt patrols throughout Grays Harbor County.

Participating in the patrols are the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office, the Aberdeen, Cosmopolis, Elma, Hoquiam, Montesano, and Ocean Shores Police Departments, as well as the Washington State Patrol, with the support of the Grays Harbor County Target Zero Task Force.

Seat belts reduce the risk of injury and death by about 70 percent when worn correctly. As seat belt use has increased during the years, traffic deaths and serious injuries have dropped, falling to 518 in 2008 from 649 in 2001 in Washington State.
