 CEDAR PARK, Texas -- Two Cedar Park police officers decided to go beyond the call of duty, by buying a man car seats for his children instead of giving him a ticket during a recent traffic stop. 
  
 Officer Justin Gower pulled over a truck on Oct. 17 for having an expired registration and malfunctioning light. 
  
 "When I was up there talking to the driver, that's when I realized there was three kids in the back seat without car seats," Gower said. 
  
 He hadn't met the man before, but realized he heard about him from other officers. 
  
 "Remember hearing the story about, you know, he's saving money, he's living in a car, he's trying to get his family down," Gower recalled. 
  
 So he called in Officer Cale Hawkins, who had talked with the man just a few weeks ago. 
  
 "They were living in a hotel and he said all of his money was going to that at this time," said Hawkins. 
  
 In that moment, Gower and Hawkins made a judgment call. 
  
 "Giving him three tickets, it wasn't going to do any good," said Gower. "Those kids were still going to have to be driven somewhere, somehow with no car seats." 
  
 "We just kind of stepped off to the side and said we need to kind of do the right thing and get these people some car seats," said Hawkins. 
  
 The officers put their money together and while Gower talked to the driver, Hawkins drove to Wal-Mart. 
  
 "I recognized some of the management staff and told them immediately what I wanted to do. She walked back with me and helped me. We chose the age appropriate car seats and color coded them," said Hawkins. 
  
 Hawkins said the manager also gave him a small discount, bringing his total to about $145. 
  
 He went back to meet the driver with three pink car seats for the man's daughters who are 1, 3 and 4-years old. Then Hawkins and Gower, fathers themselves, helped put them in the truck. 
  
 The man they helped did not want to speak with KVUE on camera, but released the following statement: 
  
 "It was nothing short of a miracle. It was something that was really needed. The officers have been a blessing." 
  
 When the other Cedar Park officers on the same shift as Gower and Hawkins heard what was going on, they also chipped in to help pay for the car seats. 
  
 Giving a gift, instead of a ticket; proving the power of the badge is made stronger by the hearts who wear them.

 “I was upset because it’s extremely dangerous,” says Officer Gower. Gower says he stopped a car at a gas station on South Bell Boulevard; inside, was a 1-year-old, 3-year-old and 4-year-old, and none of them were in car seats. “I have kids and I know how fragile they are, especially how young these kids were.” 
  
 Officer Hawkins says he actually stopped the father earlier this month. He knew the dad’s struggles to save money for his family, so the officers didn’t give out a ticket. 
  
 “They’re trying to get things going, they’re going in the right direction, and to issue them three citations for each child, would just devastate them,” says Gower. 
  
 Instead, they pooled their money with some other officers, and bought the family three new car seats. 
  
 “Money is not the issue, it’s the issue of can you help them, and so that was the easiest way we saw, the fastest path to helping them,” says Hawkins. 
  
 Officers coming through during a different kind of emergency, a family and children in need. The family didn’t want to go on camera, but they say they really needed the car seats, and the officers have been a blessing. 
  
 In 2013, Cedar Park Police handed out 42 tickets for failing to properly secure a child under 8 years old. In 2014, police gave out 49 tickets, and so far this year, they’ve issued 21 tickets. 
  
 Car Seat Guidlines 
  
 National guidelines say children should be in a safety seat for much longer than you might think. Several agencies including the American Academy of Pediatrics say infants should stay in rear-facing car seats until they are at least 35 pounds or two years of age. 
  
 When children outgrow the rear-facing seat, they should ride in a forward-facing car seat as long as possible. That’s typically until a child is at least four-years-old and ranges from 40-to-80 pounds. 
  
 Once the child outgrows the forward facing car seat, they should be in a booster seat until they are 4’9″ tall or at least 10 years old, then they can start using the adult seat belts. |||||

When police officer Justin Gower pulled a truck over Saturday in Cedar Park, Texas, for a faulty light, he wasn't prepared for what he found: three girls, ages 1, 3, and 4, in the back, none in car seats, KVUE reports. "I was upset because it's extremely dangerous," he tells KXAN. "I have kids and I know how fragile they are, especially how young these kids were." His colleague, Cale Hawkins, had stopped this same dad before earlier in the month and knew the dad was having financial troubles. "To issue them three citations for each child would just devastate them," Gower says. So they hatched a different plan: They both came up with some cash, and Gower talked to the dad while Hawkins snuck off to Walmart, where he bought three pink car seats for the three girls for about $145, thanks to a discount the manager gave him, per KVUE. They even helped put the car seats in for the dad, who tells the station, "It was nothing short of a miracle. It was something that was really needed. The officers have been a blessing." An added bonus: When other Cedar Park officers heard about their act of kindness, they pitched in as well. (Meanwhile, an off-duty firefighter in Tennessee rushed into a burning home to save a dog.)
