The Brockton Police Department takes child safety seriously. It is our goal to provide parents and caregivers useful information on safely restraining their children , to encourage the correct use of child restraints, and to ensure optimal protection by child restraint systems.

Child seats are the most effective restraint system available. Rear-facing infant seats reduce the risk of fatal injury in a car crash by 71 percent, forward-facing safety seats for toddlers reduce the fatality risk by 54 percent, and safety belts reduce fatalities by 45 percent. However, a child restraint system must be properly used to provide optimum protection. The safest child restraint systems available can prevent death and injury only if they are purchased and used correctly.

If you have questions or need assistance with your car seat contact the Brockton police Department at (508) 897 5200.
