The Jones County Sheriff’s Office announced on May 15 that it will participate in the national “Click It Or Ticket” enforcement campaign from Monday, May 18 through Sunday, May 31, 2026. Deputies will conduct saturation patrols and safety checkpoints to enforce Mississippi’s seat belt and child safety seat laws.
The campaign aims to increase public compliance with safety regulations designed to protect drivers and passengers. The sheriff’s office said the focus will be on ensuring both adults and children are properly restrained while traveling.
The Jones County Sheriff’s Office supports public safety and delivers professional law enforcement services to benefit residents, according to the official website. The agency operates both adult and juvenile detention facilities in the county. It also maintains partnerships with state organizations such as the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, Mississippi Department of Corrections, and the Mississippi Sheriffs’ Association.
The sheriff’s office employs sworn officers who serve as patrol deputies, investigators, narcotics agents, corrections officers, administrative staff members, and reserve deputies. These staff members provide law enforcement responses across Jones County in Mississippi.
Looking ahead, officials encourage all motorists to buckle up during this period of increased enforcement activity. The department said its efforts are part of ongoing work to improve road safety for all community members.
