Police Remind Drivers of School Safety

 School will be back in session on Monday, so the is asking everyone to be mindful of traffic safety:

-          Be sure to reduce speed in posted school zones.

-          Watch for extra pedestrian traffic, especially around schools and neighborhood bus stops.

-          Always stop for school buses loading and unloading students.

-          Watch for officers and school personnel directing traffic.

-           Expect additional traffic volume, so allow for extra travel time.

The safety of students, parents and school staff is a priority for the police department, so officers will be increasing patrols/traffic enforcement in school zones and neighborhoods.
