The Justice Police Department is pleased to announce that they have teamed up with the Children’s Hospital of Illinois and their program “Be A Buckle Buddy”.  This program features a website and a statewide toll-free hotline that allow concerned individuals to anonymously report unrestrained or improperly restrained child passengers in motor vehicles. 
Here's how the program works:
1) A concerned individual observes an unrestrained or improperly restrained child in a vehicle. The individual calls the hotline or visits www.bucklebuddy.org and provides license plate number, vehicle description, date, city, and county.
2) A Children’s Hospital of Illinois representative checks the hotline and website, records only pertinent information, and then faxes reports to local law enforcement partners.
3) The law enforcement partner retrieves the vehicle owners information and sends the registered vehicle owner child passenger safety information and a copy of the current Illinois State Child Passenger Safety Laws, in efforts to educate them and take the proper steps to ensure their child's safety when traveling in any motor vehicle.

The Justice Police Department along with Roberts Park Fire Protection District will be hosting a Buckle Buddy free child safety seat inspection in September( date to be announced)located at: The Roberts Park Fire Protection District Station #2 at The Justice Village Hall. Additional Free Inspections dates will follow and will be posted when scheduled. Please check back for those schedule times.

The Justice Police Department would like to stress how important proper child seating is to your child's safety while driving with you. This is one of the reasons that they are involved with this outstanding program and urge all residents to take part and get educated. It's all about your child's safety!

Take part for your children's sake and for your own peace of mind.
Buckle Up! It's the Law!
