A public safety officer from Emmett Township, Michigan, went beyond the call of duty on Saturday.
Emmett Township Public Safety Officer Ben Hall was on his patrol when he pulled a vehicle over for a traffic violation.
When he made contact with the driver, he noticed a small child in the car who was wearing a seat belt but not in a child’s car seat.
The young mother told Officer Hall that she understood the importance of having the child in a car seat, but could not afford one because of her limited income at the time.
Rather than giving the young mother a traffic ticket, Officer Hall had the mother pull into a Walmart parking lot, where he went inside and purchased a car seat to keep her daughter safe in.

People have left resources in the comments on the articles as well.
Maybe now the officers will be made aware of the free car seat program as well and can help others. :twocents:
