Be A Buckle Buddy!

“Be A Buckle Buddy!” is a non-punitive public service program through which any concerned individual can anonymously report unrestrained or improperly restrained child passengers in motor vehicles. Concerned individuals now have two ways to anonymously report, the state-wide toll-free hotline, 1-888-800-2642 (#333 from a Verizon Wireless cell phone), and the Be a Buckle Buddy! website, www.bucklebuddy.org . When reporting, the individuals give the Illinois license plate, city and county of alleged occurrence, and a brief vehicle description. The registered owner of the vehicle then receives an informational packet explaining the program, and giving information on child passenger safety and Illinois state law.
