The safety of children is always of paramount concern to parents and to us as well. One of the most likely ways that a child can receive serious injuries is when they are placed in a child seat that was improperly installed. For this reason, the department maintains a number of officers who are certified child safety seat installers.

As part of our community outreach, the Child Passenger Safety Seat Installation Unit also hosts a monthly child safety seat installation station on the first Tuesday of each month at the Plymouth Street firehouse from 9AM-12PM. This is in conjunction with the Fairfield Fire Department and Safe Kids of Northern New Jersey. From time to time, they will also host similar events at the Target store.
