Barrington Police Sponsor Senior Car Safety Check

The event will take place Dec. 8 from 9-11:30 a.m.

 

Winter driving can sometimes be challenging for seniors—so it’s important that their cars can handle the rigors of the road. 

To ensure that those cars are safe for wintry weather, the Barrington Police Department will sponsor a senior car safety check on Saturday, December 8, from 9 - 11:30 a.m., at the Barrington Public Safety Building, 400 N. Northwest Highway, Barrington.
