Child Safety Seat Inspections
The Newtown Police Department is dedicated to protecting our children. The Newtown Police Department's Child Passenger Safety Seat Unit's goal is to make the roadways of Newtown safer for our younger passengers by educating the public on Child Passenger Safety and assisting with the proper installation of Child Safety Seats.
The department provides a courtesy service by appointment only to residents of Newtown by inspecting Child Safety Seats for proper installation. Certified Child Passenger Safety Seat Technicians from the department will assist with installing safety seats and answering questions. Two random days each month the three officers will schedule appointments to inspect and assist with the installations of Child Safety Seats.
These officers also attend Child Safety Clinics in other local communities. (See www.fcsafekids.org for a list of clinics in your area) Helpful information can be found in the owners manual for the vehicle in which the child seats are going to be installed. Additional information and educational materials can also be found on the following web sites:
If you would like your Child Safety Seat inspected or need help with the installation you may call (203) 426-5841 and leave a message with your name and telephone number. An officer will contact you to schedule an appointment.
