GPD car seat clinic set Tuesday evening at PCH

The Greencastle Police Department will conduct its annual car seat clinic from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday at Putnam County Hospital, 1542 Bloomington St., Greencastle.

The annual clinic is a requirement for the Greencastle Police Department permanent fitting station.

GPD will have certified car seat technicians on hand to check car seats.

Technicians will inspect car seats currently being used for the following issues:

• Does the child seat properly fit the child?

• Is the child seat in good working condition?

• Is the child seat on a recall list?

• Is the child seat properly installed in the vehicle

• Has the child seat has gone past six years from the expiration date?

If a problem or defect is discovered with a child restraint seat, the technician can replace the seat.

If anyone has any questions regarding the Car Seat Clinic they can call 653-2925 and ask for Chief Tom Sutherlin or Capt. Chris Jones.

Child Passenger Safety Week, sponsored by NHTSA, is the week of Sept. 18-23.
