Child safety is everyone's business and as such, keeping children safe is a priority for both the Louisa County Sheriff's Office and Transportation Safety Commission. While state law requires all children under the age of 8 to be properly secured in a child seat or booster seat and by an appropriate safety belt system after that time, children are still being killed in Virginia as a result of not being restrained properly.
With grim reminders of that fact occurring much too frequently around the state and nation, the Sheriff's Office, in coordination with the Transportation Safety Commission established the Child Seat Inspection and Education Program and made this program an integral element of our many community policing initiatives. Our goal is simple, reduce serious or fatal injuries to children by teaching parents and caregivers how to buckle up children the right way every time.
