Child Passenger Safety Seat Checkpoint
The HUPD offers free of charge to all University community members child passenger safety (CPS) seat
checkpoints. At the checkpoint, an officer trained as a CPS technician will inspect your vehicle
to ensure that your child is being transported safely and in compliance with state law. The
officer will assist with the proper installation of child safety seats and also educate adults
regarding the proper manner in which to safely transport their children. Information provided will
teach the proper installation of a child safety seat, the hazards of improper installation, and the
difficulties with safety belt systems and vehicle seating configurations. Interested community members can schedule a checkpoint appointment by contacting Sergeant Dominic Sardo at dominic_sardo@harvard.edu or Officer Jacobo Negron at jacobo_negron@harvard.edu. Checkpoints take
approximately 30 minutes per vehicle and are conducted at the Soldiers Field Park garage. The goal
is to have every child leave safer than they arrived.
Certified technicians from the Urban Public Safety Coalition will be on hand on Saturday, 10/29/11 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at 219 Western Avenue (intersection of N. Harvard and Western Avenue) to check child seats for proper installation and to offer advice on damaged or recalled seats. Any questions please contact Officer Jacobo Negron at jacobo_negron@harvard.edu.
