Georgia State Patrol troopers, newly certified as Child Passenger Safety Technicians, will conduct free child seat safety checks Friday to help make riding along more secure for infants and children. Earlier this week, 20 troopers from GSP Post 45 took the class at Franklin Chevrolet, learning the proper method to install child safety seats, said Capt. Kirk McGlamery, supervisor for GSP's F Troop, which covers 22 counties. "By July 1, 2011, all troopers will be trained as (safety technicians)," he said.
