The Hazelwood Police Department announced its partnership with other law enforcement agencies across the state for an aggressive Child Passenger Safety Week Law Enforcement Campaign during the week of September 14-20. This is a crackdown on Missouri\u2019s child safety seat law violators and an effort to reduce highway fatalities and injuries to children.<\/p>\n
Missouri law requires all children under the age of eight to be in an appropriate child safety seat or booster seat unless they are 80 lbs. or 4\u20199\u201d tall.<\/p>\n
Car accidents are the number one killer of kids. Nearly 73 percent of all child restraints are not used correctly.<\/p>\n
Hazelwood Chief of Police Gregg Hall stated, \u201cRegular child safety seats and safety belt use are the most effective ways to protect people and to reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe use of child safety seats or booster seats are the single best defense to protect your kids in a crash,\u201d said Chief Hall. \u201cToo many children have died from car accidents because either their child safety seat wasn\u2019t installed properly or they weren\u2019t buckled up<\/p>\n
The department offers free installation service to Hazelwood residents. To take advantage of this service, residents should contact the Hazelwood Fire Department at (314) 731-3424 ahead of time to make an appointment.<\/p>\n
Both the Hazelwood Police Department and Hazelwood Fire Department want everyone to buckle up and arrive alive to their destination. For more information, visit www.saveMOlives.com.<\/p>\n
