School Zone Enforcement

The Spokane Police Department (SPD) has issued a reminder that school zones are being strictly enforced now that the new school year is underway. With students returning to classes, the SPD aims to enhance safety in areas where children frequently travel. Officer Daniel Strassenberg highlights the critical role of community awareness in preventing accidents. Speed limits in school zones are enforced to protect children, and violations can result in fines. The SPD Traffic Unit is actively monitoring these areas to ensure compliance.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss safe travel practices with their children. Increased vigilance from all community members is essential to maintain a safe environment during school hours. The initiative reflects the SPD's ongoing commitment to public safety as students navigate their daily routines.
