Bolingbrook PD To Step Up Enforcement For Child Passenger Safety Week

BOLINGBROOK, IL — The Bolingbrook Police Department will participate in national Child Passenger Safety Week from Sept. 18 to Sept. 24, according to a release from the department. Bolingbrook officers will have focused enforcement on child passenger safety laws to help ensure the protection of young children traveling in the community.

Police encouraged checking that children are in the right car seat for their age and size, and to properly buckle kids in the right seat.

The focus of Child Passenger Safety Week is to raise awareness and encourage all parents and caregivers to make sure their children are riding in the right seat. Proper installation is also key, the department said.

The campaign is funded by federal traffic safety funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, administered through the Illinois Department of Transportation.
