Arizona law enforcement agencies are teaming up to make sure Arizona residents and their kids are buckled up in the car.

The move is part of the nation's "Click It or Ticket" initiative -- a safety campaign that targets drivers not wearing seat belts.

In Arizona, not wearing your seatbelt is a secondary offense so a police officer cannot pull you over for not wearing a seat belt. 

But, the child safety seat belt law is primary so you can be pulled over for not having your child in a car seat or buckled up.

The "Click It or Ticket" campaign runs through June 5th.
