Bernie’s Notes
Police are doing their annual “Click It or Ticket” campaign as we gear up for Memorial Day and the unofficial start of summer. Here’s a PSA I did for the Union County (NJ) Traffic Officers Association.
https://clyp.it/rnkdkfm2. It’s being used on municipal radio stations and as a link on social media.

If your agency would like to use the PSA, personalized for your organization (at no charge), please let me know at bernie@transportationradio.org.
