In addition to Saturday’s events, every Louisiana State Police Troop Headquarters serves as a grant-funded Child Passenger Safety fitting station on designated days throughout the week. Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians are available to inspect and to assist with the installation of child safety seats at that time. In addition, CPS Technicians are available upon request to perform inspections at daycare centers, schools, and various community events. There are also programs available to those individuals who may not be able to afford a child safety seat.
To schedule an appointment, learn about your Troop area’s inspection day, or arrange for a check up event please contact your local LSP Public Information Officer.
