MCRW Associate Member Bill Heflin attended a 4-day course at the Law Enforcement Criminal Justice Academy in Fairfax, VA to receive Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Technician Certification. Associate Member Jerry Butler took the course at the Criminal Justice Academy in Ashburn, VA.Tens of thousands of individuals have been nationally certified as Child Passenger Safety Technicians since the program began in 1997. They are able to provide child safety seat checks and give parents and caregivers education and assistance with child restraint systems and safety belts.
Bill said he could not believe how much there was to learn in order to put in a car seat. All the different car and car seat manufacturers provide a real challenge to anyone who attempts to install one, he added.
Bill and Jerry will be participating in Sheriff Erik Weaver’s “Child Safety Day” with free bike helmets and other handouts to be held at the Madison Firehouse on May 10, 2008, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.
