School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) emphasizes the enforcement of school zones as the new academic year commences. This initiative is spearheaded by the SPD Traffic Unit, which focuses on safeguarding students during peak school hours. Officers are particularly attentive to traffic laws in areas around schools, ensuring that drivers adhere to speed limits and other regulations. The return to school brings increased foot traffic, making it crucial for community members to remain vigilant. This enforcement effort reflects the SPD's commitment to enhancing safety for children as they travel to and from school.

The department encourages parents and guardians to discuss safe commuting practices with their children. Furthermore, the SPD aims to raise awareness about the importance of compliance with traffic laws in school zones. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to create a safer environment for all students in Spokane.
