Sheriff's Office Cancels Tomorrow's Car Seat Check Due To Forecasted Heat

  • Monday, July 18, 2016

In light of the forecasted higher temperatures this week, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Safe Journey Program is cancelling its regularly scheduled car seat check tomorrow at the AAA Motor Club on Gunbarrel Road.

With temperatures forecasted to reach 100 degrees, Safe Journey personnel do not wish to keep children outside or in a hot car any longer than necessary due to the heat.

Often times, car seat checks require children and parents to exit the vehicle and can take several minutes to perform. During this time children can become very hot, especially newborns and infants.

The car seat checks should resume next week on Tuesday,  weather permitting.
