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.
