Would you like to have your child safety seat inspected by a certified technician?  The Bedford Police Department has three certified Safety Seat Technicians that can assist you in installing a new seat or inspecting an existing seat that you have in your vehicle.  You can call (781)-275-1212 and ask for extension 151 and Traffic Enforcement Officer Marc Saucier will get back to you as soon as possible to set up an appointment. Please be advised that we are backed-up and it may take awhile for a return call.
