Native CARS TIPCAP Tribal Child Passenger Safety Technician Certification Course
The Native Children Always Ride Safe Tribal Injury Prevention Project (Native CARS TIPCAP) coordinated and held their second Tribal Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Technician certification course at the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel in Worley, Idaho in June. Through this course, 13 Tribal serving CPS Technicians became certified, allowing for internal capacity enhancement for Tribal CPS expertise at four Northwest Tribes.
The CPS Technician certification course is an intensive 3-4 day long hands-on course with written and practical skills tests. On the last day of the Tribal CPS Technician course, a CPS seat check-up event was held where free car seat resources were distributed. Local families met with the newly certified CPS Technicians to receive education and advice to ensure their children are riding safely; on every trip, every time!
Native CARS TIPCAP wants to thank everyone involved in making the course possible; the instructors, the attendees, and the Coeur d’Alene Casino staff members. Everyone did a fantastic job!
