School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department has initiated strict enforcement of school zone regulations as students return for the new academic year. Emphasizing safety, the SPD Traffic Unit is focusing its efforts on areas surrounding Rogers High School, Longfellow, and Garry Middle School. Officers have already made multiple traffic stops for speeding and cell phone use, aiming to deter dangerous driving behaviors. This proactive approach is crucial as children navigate their way to and from school during peak hours. The community is reminded of the importance of obeying traffic laws in designated school zones to ensure the safety of young pedestrians.

Local schools are particularly vulnerable during this time, and the police department's efforts aim to foster a secure environment. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss safe driving practices with their families. The initiative highlights the commitment of the Spokane Police Department to protect students and promote a culture of road safety.
