Children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years riding in the back seat must be in a child restraint seat or a seat belt. It is strongly recommended that children from the age of 5 years to 13 years ride in the back seat with their seat belts on. All passengers over the age of 13 should wear a seat belt regardless of where they are sitting in the vehicle. If you have any questions about seat belt laws or child restraints seat please contact Sgt. Gregg Hackbarth at 664-1140 ext.
Seat belts save lives.
