School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) has issued a reminder regarding the enforcement of school zones as students return for the new school year. Officer Daniel Strassenberg, from the Public Information Office, highlighted the importance of community awareness during this time. The SPD Traffic Unit focuses on designated school zones to ensure the safety of students commuting to and from school. This initiative is crucial in preventing potential accidents and promoting safe travel routes for children. Officers are concentrating efforts in areas around schools to enhance overall safety.

Additionally, the enforcement aligns with the department's broader goal of maintaining public safety year-round. With children actively using these routes, the SPD aims to foster a secure environment for all students. Such proactive measures underscore the importance of community engagement in safety initiatives.
