TROOP D NEWS RELEASE August 16, 2017 Free Child Passenger Safety Seat Check Event in Sulphur SULPHUR—On Saturday, August 19, 2017, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the Louisiana Passenger Safety Task Force in conjunction with Louisiana State Police Troop D and the Sulphur Police Department will hold a free child safety seat check event at the West Cal Event Center at 401 Arena Road in Sulphur. This free service is provided as part of the Safe Sleep Baby Shower sponsored by the Sulphur Police Department and the SWLA Safe Sleep Task Force. Nationally certified child passenger safety technicians will be available to ensure child safety seats are properly installed and to answer questions free of charge. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children. Louisiana state law requires drivers to ensure every child in a motor vehicle equipped with safety belts is properly secured, regardless of seating position in the vehicle. Many injuries and deaths can be prevented by properly using child safety seats. Anyone who is not able to attend this event and would like to have a child safety seat inspected may make an appointment with Louisiana State Police Troop D by calling 337-491-2519 or the Sulphur Police Department at 3375274550. This free inspection will allow the parent/caregiver to speak with a technician that will show the parent/caregiver how to properly install the child restraint and ensure the child is in the appropriate seat for the child’s height and weight.
