School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) has launched enforcement measures for school zones as the new academic year starts. Officer Daniel Strassenberg highlighted the critical need for heightened safety as children travel to and from school. The SPD Traffic Unit is particularly focused on areas surrounding Rogers High School, Longfellow, and Garry Middle School. In recent days, officers have conducted numerous traffic stops addressing speeding and cell phone use while driving. This initiative aims to protect students and promote responsible driving in school zones.

Community members are encouraged to exercise caution and comply with traffic regulations. The enforcement efforts not only aim to reduce violations but also to foster a culture of safety within the community. Ensuring student safety during the school year is a priority for local authorities.
