School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) is reinforcing school zone enforcement as the new academic year starts, ensuring the safety of students. Officer Daniel Strassenberg from the Public Information Office stated that the Traffic Unit is actively monitoring designated school zones. Recent enforcement efforts focused on Rogers High School, Longfellow, and Garry Middle School, where officers conducted numerous traffic stops. Speeding and cell phone use violations were the primary targets during these operations. This proactive approach aims to safeguard children during their commutes to and from school.

The community's cooperation is vital for maintaining a safe environment in these zones. Parents and drivers are urged to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations. The SPD's commitment to public safety reflects its ongoing efforts to protect the community's youth.
