School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) is actively enforcing school zones now that the new school year has commenced. Officer Daniel Strassenberg from the Public Information Office emphasized the importance of this initiative as children return to school. The SPD Traffic Unit has specifically targeted areas around Rogers High School, Garry Middle School, and Longfellow Middle School to enhance student safety. Officers have conducted multiple traffic stops to enforce speed limits and ensure compliance with traffic laws. This enforcement effort aims to foster a safer environment for students during their daily commutes.

Community members are encouraged to stay alert and observe school zone regulations to protect young pedestrians. The SPD's focus on school zones reflects a broader commitment to public safety in the community. As children return to their educational routines, the police department aims to prevent accidents and promote responsible driving in these critical areas.
