New York State Law requires that all children up to age 4 be restrained in a Department of Transportation approved safety seat whenever the vehicle is in operation (Car seat).  The law requires children ages 4, 5 and 6 to be properly restrained in an appropriate child restraint system (Booster seat).   These children must be properly secured in a seat which your child meets the height and weight recommendations of the child restraint manufacturer. 

The Monroe Police Department has officers specially trained in the installation and proper use of Child Passenger Safety Seats.  These officers will inspect your child's safety seat and if it is not properly installed they will reinstall and educate parents on the proper installation of these seats.  If your safety seat does not meet current standards we will replace it with a new one free of charge (While supplies last).  If you live in the Village of Monroe and would like to have your child passenger safety seat properly installed you can call the station at (845)782-8644 to make an appointment.   Residents located outside of the Village of Monroe are urged to call their local police department as we only provide this service to Village of Monroe residents.
