School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department has reiterated its commitment to enforcing school zone regulations as the new school year commences. With students back in session, increased foot traffic around schools necessitates heightened safety measures. The SPD Traffic Unit has concentrated its efforts in areas surrounding Rogers High School, Longfellow Middle School, and Garry Middle School to combat traffic violations. Officers have executed multiple traffic stops for infractions like speeding and cell phone usage. Such enforcement not only aims to protect students but also serves as a reminder for drivers to be cautious during school hours.

The initiative reflects the department's ongoing efforts to ensure a safe environment for the community. Residents are urged to remain aware of their surroundings and to follow traffic laws diligently. This proactive approach underscores the importance of student safety as they travel to and from school.
