Dexter Police Department Releases Results of Child Restraint Checks
Campaign Reminds Motorists to Boost and Buckle Kids Under 8
Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter Police Department participated in the Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Week Law Enforcement Campaign conducted September 18-24, 2016.
During the enforcement effort, officers issued a total of 13 traffic tickets including: 7 speeding tickets; 3 seat belt tickets: 1 stop sign violation ticket: 1 no operator license ticket and 1 uninsured motorist ticket. 2 warrant arrests were made as a result of the crackdown. Officers also issued 36 hazardous moving violation warnings and 35 non hazardous moving violation warnings.
There were a total of 75 traffic stops conducted during this campaign.
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 4’9” tall. “It’s so important for parents and caregivers to understand the importance of child restraints,” said Lieutenant Benton.
“It’s not just about following the law – child restraints help prevent serious injury and may even save your child’s life.” Funding for this effort was provided through a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Traffic & Highway Safety Division in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Missouri Safety Center.
