, Fla. \u2014 Public Safety Specialist Sharon Gregory of the Seminole County Fire Department was recently designated as one of only eight new Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician Instructors (CPST-I) in Florida. This new role allows her to train and certify new Child Passenger Safety Technicians and lead certification classes.<\/p>\n

Gregory is currently the only CPST Instructor in Seminole County. Statewide, fewer than 100 CPST Instructors are in place, and only 45% of Florida counties currently have one.<\/p>\n

Gregory has served as a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician since 2015.<\/p>\n

Over the past three years, the Seminole County Fire Department has inspected or installed more than 250 car seats. The department averages approximately 60 inspections annually.<\/p>\n

In addition to Gregory, the Seminole County Fire Department has three other nationally Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians on staff. These technicians include one fire lieutenant, one firefighter\/paramedic, and one Dispatch member. <\/p>\n
