ISHPEMING, MI-- The Ishpeming Police Department has received a donation of child car seats and intends to take part in a car seat education program for U.P. families.
The department is sending an officer to Child Passenger Safety Technician School in June. With the certification will come the department’s participation in the KARS—or Kids Always Ride Safe—program. It educates residents who transport children and provides vouchers for the purchase of a child safety seat.
The program is run through the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning.
