: For Immediate Release

: The Jersey City Police Department in conjunction with the community based  organization PACO were awarded one of the eight "2004 Partnering for Traffic Safety Grant" from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 

: JERSEY CITY-Mayor Glenn D. Cunningham, Police Chief Ronald Buonocore, Mr. Eliu Rivera, PACO and representatives from the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety will announce the details and requirements from the Center for Hispanic Policy, Research and Development to create a child safety program. The child safety program will be unveiled on Thursday, May 13, 2004, at l p.m., at 392 Manila Avenue, in Jersey City.

: "Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death of children over the age of six in the United States. The proper use of child car seats is one of the simplest and most effective methods available for protecting the lives of our young children in the event of a motor vehicle crash," says NHTSA.

: "The purpose of this grant is to develop a public education program that will address a community approach to better educate parents and caregivers on the proper usage of car safety seats and seatbelts. This will raise awareness that our most important commodity is our children so let's protect them," says Mayor Cunningham.
:  
: "The Jersey City Police Department will donate 72 child safety booster seats to this worth while program. This program will be beneficial to the Latino and African American community in which it will raise awareness of the importance of proper occupant restraint usage by our youngest and most precious travelers and their parents." says Chief Ronald Buonocore.

: The multifaceted approach toward injury prevention employs the disciplines of education, healthcare, community groups, law enforcement, and the media. These disciplines form the building blocks of a solid network of community based partnerships and programs designed to increase awareness and education. Also this approach allows development of strategies for specific target populations, fosters community involvement, and promotes public awareness.

: The City of Jersey, Jersey City Police Department, Liberty Academy, New Jersey Division of Highway Safety Administration, and PACO has forged an alliance to educate the community on the statistics and importance of child safety when traveling.

: Each participant will attend a 45 minute information session on child safety and at the completion of a pre-survey and post survey, will receive a car booster seat, t-shirt and or a children's book on "I'm safe in the car".

: For further information pertaining to this new child safety program please call the PACO Agency at (201) 963-8282 or at 392 Manila Avenue, Jersey City.
