Kingman Police Department Thanksgiving campaign stresses the importance of buckling up.

Thanksgiving is one of the busiest traveling holidays, with that comes an increase in crashes. The Kingman Police Department wants to remind everyone to always buckle up.

Kingman Police Department joins law enforcement across the state to provide education about the importance of seat belts. Drivers can expect to see increased law enforcement presence on local roads during the statewide Thanksgiving Safe Arrival campaign, which runs from Nov. 22-29.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, buckling up is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash. Being buckled up during a crash helps keep you safe and secure in your vehicle.

The right fit matters:
• The shoulder belt should lay flat across the middle of the chest and away from the neck
• The lap belt should fit across the hip, not stomach
• Never put the seat belt behind the back or under the arm
• Children should be properly restrained in car seats according to weight, age and height

For more information on seat belts go to www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/seat-belts.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner!

KPP Energy and the City of Kingman have been partners for many years. As the energy sector becomes more complex and demanding, having 23 other Kansas community partners in KPP Energy helps Kingman's electric utility face those ever-changing challenges from a position of strength. The benefits of KPP Energy membership are vast, but for us the Kingman Transmission Project has been one of the largest benefits to date. The Kingman Transmission Project, energized in 2022, was the culmination of 12 years of hard work and legal interventions by KPP Energy and local staff. The new transmission line and 115 kV substation allows Kingman to import its full electric load for the first time in the city’s history. All 24 KPP Energy members join together to pay for this historical project for Kingman. As we reflect on the benefits of public power, we thank KPP Energy staff and our fellow members for the progress made and look forward to continued successes moving forward. KPP Energy
