School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) has announced a renewed focus on enforcing school zones as students return to classes for the new school year. Officers have specifically targeted areas around Rogers High School and Garry Middle School, conducting numerous traffic stops recently. These stops primarily addressed speeding and cell phone violations, with several resulting in arrests for driving with a suspended license. The SPD emphasizes that such enforcement is crucial for student safety, particularly during peak school hours. Community members are encouraged to stay alert and follow traffic laws in these designated zones.

This initiative aligns with the SPD's ongoing efforts to create safer environments for children. The enforcement actions reflect a commitment to public safety and community engagement. As school resumes, the SPD aims to foster a culture of safety among drivers and pedestrians alike.
