School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) has issued a reminder to residents that school zones are being strictly enforced with the start of the new school year. Officer Daniel Strassenberg highlighted the need for vigilance among drivers as children return to school. The SPD Traffic Unit has focused enforcement efforts around Rogers High School, Longfellow, and Garry Middle School. Recent operations included multiple traffic stops targeting speeding and cell phone usage in these areas. This initiative aims to protect students and ensure their safety while commuting.

Community cooperation is essential for maintaining a secure environment for children. The SPD encourages all drivers to adhere to traffic laws and remain vigilant in school zones. Safe driving practices contribute to a safer community overall.
