TROOP F NEWS RELEASE September 17, 2013
The event will take place in the Boley Elementary parking lot located at 2200 Hwy 80 in West Monroe from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It is estimated that approximately 3 out of 4 child restraint systems are being misused. This child passenger safety check event is an opportunity for caregivers to have child restraints in their vehicle checked free of charge. Child safety seats and booster seats save lives. They offer the best protection for children in the event of a crash. During the past 30 years, approximately 8,959 lives have been saved by the use of child restraints according to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It is important that caregivers ensure children are properly restrained in an appropriate child safety seat, booster seat, or seat belt—every trip, every time. Participating agencies include the Louisiana State Police and West Monroe Police Department. Support for this event is provided by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.
