State Police are taking part in the National Seat Check Saturday safety event, for parents of kids still small enough to need a child seat or booster. Sgt. James Anderson says each LSP troop area will have one Saturday – from 9 ‘til noon – in Covington, Crowley, Shreveport, Monroe, Alexandria, Lake Charles, Houma, Metairie and Baton Rouge. Finding one near you is as easy as opening Facebook…:

CUT 14(06)      “…all over the state.”
