School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) has launched an enforcement campaign in school zones as the new academic year begins. Officers are focusing their efforts around Rogers High School, Longfellow, and Garry Middle School, where they have conducted multiple traffic stops for violations such as speeding and cell phone use. This initiative is part of the SPD Traffic Unit's ongoing commitment to safeguard children as they travel to and from school. By actively monitoring these areas, the SPD aims to foster a safer environment for students. Community members are encouraged to comply with traffic laws, especially in designated school zones, to prevent accidents.

The enforcement is timely as children return to school, highlighting the need for increased caution. As part of this initiative, the SPD urges drivers to remain alert and mindful of their speed. This proactive approach underscores the critical importance of student safety during the school year.
