CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Clarksville Police Department (CPD) partnered with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) Sept. 23 at Once Upon A Child and Toys “R” Us to offer free car seat inspections and education to the public as part of National Seat Check Saturday.

The officers and deputies provided education to the attendees, installed car and booster seats, and inspected car seats which were already installed in vehicles.

Out of the 40 car seats checked, there were 23 installed improperly or incorrectly adjusted.

“It was a great event and CPD and MCSO are grateful they had an opportunity to educate and assist the public in safeguarding their children,” CPD spokesman Jim Knoll said.
