GOHS CAPP Program
The GOHS CAPP Program was developed for the purpose of improving the child seat usage rate in Arizona by the following methods:
The CAPP Program was modeled from an existing program initiated in Tempe in 1994 which partners law enforcement agencies, hospitals, and municipal/justice courts. The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety has partnered with several agencies/hospitals throughout the state. The program provides child safety classes in both English and Spanish instructed by nationally certified technicians. Program information will be provided by law enforcement agencies to drivers when issued a citation for ARS 28-907.A (child restraint law). Program information will also be provided to each law enforcement agency as well as all of the Municipal and Justice Courts throughout the State of Arizona.
The class allows drivers cited for a violation of ARS 28-907.A (child restraint law) to attend an educational class with the opportunity to obtain a child safety seat. Proper installation of the child safety seats will be increased based upon the information provided and hands-on demonstrations. This class provides drivers with an additional option other than purchasing an expensive child safety seat and/or paying a fine which, in some jurisdictions, is in excess of $100.
The two-hour class concludes with the students installing their child safety seats into their vehicles, which are then checked by the technicians.
The class offers a new child safety seat (convertible/booster) to the students who are in need. Students having a seat which is used, recalled, outdated, or was involved in a collision will be offered a new seat to replace the existing one. Fee for the class has been established at $25. Monies collected from the class will be placed in a fund established at each hospital location for the sole purpose of purchasing future child safety seats.
Drivers who own child safety seats but fail to use them in their vehicle will be offered the class. Drivers will bring their child safety seats to the class where they will be checked for recall information and inspected by the technician. The students who attend the two-hour class benefit greatly from the information provided. The class is additionally offered to the general public and will be promoted through various avenues.
