School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) has intensified enforcement in school zones to ensure student safety as the school year begins. Officers have conducted targeted operations around Rogers High School, Longfellow, and Garry Middle School, focusing on traffic violations such as speeding and cell phone use while driving. Recent enforcement actions resulted in multiple citations, with some stops leading to arrests for suspended driving and one incident involving possession of stolen property. This proactive approach reflects the department's commitment to safeguarding children during peak school hours. The SPD urges community members to comply with traffic laws to prevent accidents and ensure a safe environment for students.

As children return to school, the importance of vigilance in school zones becomes paramount. Local schools and parents are encouraged to support these safety initiatives.
