School Zone Enforcement

Spokane Police Department (SPD) has initiated enforcement of school zones as students return to classes for the new school year. Officer Daniel Strassenberg emphasized the critical need for community awareness regarding traffic safety during school hours. The SPD Traffic Unit will actively monitor designated school zones to ensure compliance with traffic regulations. This effort aims to protect children as they travel to and from school, particularly in high-traffic areas. Residents are urged to observe speed limits and remain vigilant for pedestrians.

The increased enforcement reflects the department's commitment to fostering a safer environment for students. By engaging the community in this initiative, SPD hopes to reduce potential accidents and enhance overall safety. Such actions are essential in promoting responsible driving behaviors during school hours.
