About CPS
The Unit’s mission is to give instruction on the proper installation of child safety seats to ensure the safety of children while traveling in a motor vehicle.
In order to receive a child passenger safety technician certification, these Medford officers completed a 32 hour course including participation in a check-point event and a written and performance evaluation. Individuals must attend update courses and renew their certificate every two years.
