School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) emphasizes the importance of school zone enforcement as the new academic year starts. With the return of students, the SPD Traffic Unit is prioritizing safety in areas surrounding schools. Officers have focused on Rogers High School, Longfellow, and Garry Middle School, conducting numerous traffic stops for infractions like speeding and cell phone use. This proactive enforcement aims to safeguard children during school hours. The SPD encourages community members to comply with traffic regulations in school zones to ensure the safety of students.

Statistics show that areas with strict enforcement see a decrease in accidents involving children. As school resumes, the SPD aims to foster a safe environment for students and families. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and cautious while driving in these zones.
