Whether general in nature or tailored to the specific needs of any requesting group, RUPD offers a number of formal and informal programs and training on a diverse range of topics. In addition to the ones listed below we have also customized presentations for public schools in surrounding communities and for specific groups on campus. Prevention and awareness are the greatest deterrents to crime so we believe our support of these programs is essential to maintaining a safe community. |

PROGRAMS
Child Seat Inspection Station
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has determined motor vehicle crashes to be the number one cause of death of children over the age of six months in the United States. The proper use of child car seats is one of the simplest and most effective methods available for protecting the lives of our young children in the event of a motor vehicle crash. The RUPD has partnered with the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety to provide instruction and guidance to the public. During the scheduled times certified technicians are on hand to assist in ensuring your child safety seat is properly installed. |
