Lockport Police Step Up Enforcement For Child Passenger Safety Week

LOCKPORT, IL — Lockport Police will participate in national Child Passenger Safety Week from Sept.18 to Sept. 24 with stepped up enforcement of child passenger safety laws to help ensure the protection of young children traveling in the community, the department said in a news release.

“One of the simplest things we can do to help secure our children’s future is to check that they
are in the right car seat for their age and size,” police said. “We encourage you to have your car
seats checked. Make certain they are installed correctly and kids are properly buckled in the right
seat before you drive.”

According to the department, 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.

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