School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) is reinforcing school zone enforcement as students return to school this fall. Officer Daniel Strassenberg emphasized the importance of these measures in safeguarding children during their daily commutes. Recently, the SPD Traffic Unit focused its efforts on areas surrounding Rogers High School, Longfellow, and Garry Middle School. Officers conducted several traffic stops, issuing citations for speeding and cell phone violations, underlining the need for driver vigilance. These enforcement actions aim to foster a safer environment for students and reduce potential accidents.

Community members are urged to remain aware of school zone regulations and prioritize safety. This initiative aligns with the SPD's commitment to traffic safety and community well-being. As school sessions resume, adherence to traffic laws becomes crucial to protecting vulnerable pedestrians.
