The locations were rotated around the county, so that each police agency that was involved had an opportunity to participate. In September of 1998, a four-day course was conducted. Certified technicians and instructors were on hand to make presentations on CPS and share their expertise with those present. One of the concerns with this program is getting the word out to people. Although the program has had some exposure on television, radio, and print.
Most people become aware of the program by word of mouth or simple happenstance.
Nevertheless, members of the community have embraced the project and shown their support. On average, the group receives at least ten calls a day concerning requests for training. The JMMC serves as the contact for the public to obtain information and requests. There are eighteen nationally certified technicians and two certified technician instructors. The fitting stations have fixed hours to inspect child safety seats and will also do the inspections by appointment.
