Frequently Asked Questions

Yes.

Please come by our agency at 80 King Street and we will have one of our certified child safety seat officers place your seat in the car.

Children age four (4) through age eight (8), and measuring less than four feet nine inches (4’9″) in height, must be secured in a belt-positioning booster seat system, meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards in the rear seat, if available, or according to the child safety restraint system or vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.

(Note: If the child is not between age four (4) and age eight (8), but is less than four feet nine inches (4’9″) in height, he/she must still use a seat belt system meeting federal motor vehicle safety standards.)

Please visit the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security for more information.

When a vehicle is impounded it can be very stressful. The arresting officer provides a copy of the seizure form to the person in control of the vehicle. Please read this form carefully and comply to its instructions.

Once the vehicle is seized, it will be stored at our impound lot located at our agency at 80 King Street. You or a designee are allowed to come and retrieve items from the vehicle from the hours of 9am-4pm Monday through Friday.

If you have any questions, please contact Assistant Chief Alan Snelling at (731) 925-3200 or visit the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security for more information.
