The following is a list of some of the services that the Byram Police offer to our residents:

• Child car seat installation/check. The majority of child car and booster seats are installed incorrectly creating a potential safety issue. We will inspect your car or booster seat and make sure that it is installed correctly. These checks are conducted by appointment only and take from 15 to 30 minutes depending on child seat model. There is no charge for this service.  Appointments can be made by contacting Officer D'Onofrio or Officer Dellicker at (973) 347-4008. Additional information on child safety seats can be found at http://www.nj.gov/oag/hts/childseats/index.html.
