Child Safetv Seat Inspections In an effort to ensure child passenger safety, the Centennial Lakes Police Department offers free car seat inspections to residents living in Centerville, Circle Pines and Lexington. All personnel licensed attend the National Child Passenger Safety Program certified by SafeKids Worldwide. The curriculum, from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is a four day class consisting of classroom instruction and hands -on work with different car seats and vehicles. It then ends with a community car seat clinic. Once the officer has passed the course they become a certified child passenger safety technician and can begin checking car seats in the cities we serve. Child seat inspections take place at the police department or, if circumstances pertain, on site at the residence. Child safety seat inspections are done by appointment only.
