Did you know that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children under 14 in the United States? Even more concerning — 4 out of 5 car seats are installed incorrectly. That’s why it’s so important for parents and caregivers to have the most accurate, up-to-date information on how to safely transport their children.
The Brownsburg Police Department is proud to partner with the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute and the Automotive Safety Program as a Permanent Car Seat Fitting Station. Our certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are trained to provide hands-on education and guidance to help keep your little ones safe.
What We Offer:
As a Permanent Fitting Station, we welcome families to schedule an appointment for a free car seat safety check. During your visit, our technicians will:
• Ensure the car seat is the right type and size for your child
• Check that your child fits properly in the seat
• Confirm the car seat is installed correctly in your vehicle
If certain criteria are met — and supplies are available — we may also be able to provide a replacement car seat after you complete a brief education session on proper use and installation.
To schedule an appointment, please email Officer Elsiana Crosby at ecrosby@brownsburgpolice.org
or Heidi Shepherd at hshepherd@brownsburgpolice.org
