On Wednesday, September 21, 2011, from 10:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M., Newport News Police Officers will be available at the Police Department’s Community Outreach Center, 10188 Warwick Boulevard in Hilton, to inspect child safety seats and insure they are properly installed. The officers will also install child safety seats brought to the location.

Additional opportunities will be available at the Community Outreach Center from 10:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. October 19, November 16, and December 21.

The Newport News Police Department wishes to remind all motorists that children under the age of eight years being transported in any motor vehicle manufactured after January 1, 1968 are required to be properly secured in a device that meets the United States Department of Transportation standards. Also, rear facing safety seats are to be installed in the rear seat of the vehicle. In the event the vehicle does not have a rear seat, the safety seat may be placed in the front seat ONLY if there is no passenger airbag or the passenger airbag has been disabled. Additionally, children under the age of 18 are required to be properly secured in an approved seatbelt.
