TAUNTON, Mass. —  The Taunton Police Department this week received state grant money to help families who otherwise would have trouble buying a child safety seat for their car.

Taunton received $2,000 and was one of 61 police and fire departments, hospitals and regional nonprofit agencies sharing in the $165,000 Child Passenger Safety Equipment Grant grant provided by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security’s Highway Division.

Each car seat costs between $80 and $100, according grant manager Sgt. Richard Carreiro.
