The department serves approximately 80,000 residents across a 25-square-mile area in unincorporated Harris County, located about 20 miles northwest of downtown Houston, Texas.

The Importance of Proper Child Safety Seat Installation
Proper installation of child safety seats is vital for protecting young passengers. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants (younger than 1 year old) and by 54% for toddlers (1 to 4 years old) in passenger cars. However, NHTSA's research indicates that 59% of car seats are not installed correctly, compromising their effectiveness.
