School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department is reinforcing school zone rules now that the academic year has commenced. With students returning to schools, officers are focusing on high-traffic areas near Rogers High School, Longfellow Middle School, and Garry Middle School. Recent enforcement actions have included multiple traffic stops for speeding and the use of cell phones while driving. This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure the safety of children during school hours. Community engagement is crucial, and residents are urged to comply with traffic laws in school zones.

The SPD Traffic Unit remains dedicated to preventing accidents and promoting safe driving practices. This enforcement campaign is timely, as it aligns with the start of the school year and aims to create a secure environment for students. The department's commitment to safety highlights the importance of vigilance in school zones.
