We know there are children that aren\u2019t riding in the appropriate seats and we know there are parents that want their child to be safe, but may not have the means to purchase a new seat as a child grows, so this is a great solution! Safety is of the utmost importance and we are pleased to be able to provide seats for those families that need them. We\u2019re helping to save children\u2019s lives, one child passenger seat at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sheriff John Fuson adds, \u201cIt was a great fit for us to link our school resource officers with the Driver Safety Program. They see the need for child booster seats from time to time in the child pick up line, but until now they couldn\u2019t correct the situation on the spot. As law enforcement, we know child passenger safety is important and any day we have the opportunity to be proactive and increase safety for a child is a great day!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Driver Safety Program, contact Lisa McClain at 931.553.5186.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montgomery County, TN &#8211; The Montgomery County Driver Safety Program recently received booster seats from MeHarry Medical College on a grant they received through the Tennessee Governors Highway Safety Office.
