Our goal as police officers, believe it or not, is education and voluntary compliance.
In a show of good faith in that goal I'd like a form I can give out whenever I cite someone for child restraint violation (for the record, it's looked down upon to cite for "minor" misuse--ie, if I notice LATCH and seatbelt, or if straps below shoulders FF, that kind of stuff--they're looking for unbuckled, non restrained, or tiny infant FF, etc----and believe me I see enough of those that I actually get excited when I see "minor" misuse!).
I need it to look spectacularly professional... have a notice that they have X number of days from X date to see a CPST, and have a spot at the bottom for a tech's signature, address, phone number, tech number, or whatever identifying info y'all use, and that if the conditions are met by said date, their citation would be reduced to a warning. And some kind of "upon completion of this form please fax or bring in person to (address/fax/etc).", a space for their CRN number and citation number and officer name and badge number. And a comments section for the tech.
I know that's completely disorganized and a bunch of info. Can anyone help me? Does anyone already have a form like this that can maybe be slightly modified?
I'll be calling techs in our county (1!) and the surrounding counties in the next few days to see which ones would be willing to participate. I know one in Leesburg that will for sure (which isn't far for half the people I pull over---we are kind of between two military bases so I'll need to cover a 4 county area in finding techs willing to participate).
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
