School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) has announced the enforcement of school zones as the new school year begins, aiming to protect students. Officers are focusing their efforts around Rogers High School, Longfellow, and Garry Middle School. Recent enforcement actions included multiple traffic stops for speeding and cell phone violations, resulting in several arrests for driving with suspended licenses. The SPD's traffic unit is committed to ensuring the safety of students during peak school hours. This initiative is essential as children return to school, navigating busy traffic areas.

The department encourages community members to be attentive and comply with traffic laws in these zones. Increased enforcement aims to deter reckless driving and promote a safer environment for students. The SPD plans to continue monitoring school zones throughout the academic year.
