District teams with police for emphasis patrol campaign

City of Walla Walla police officers will be patrolling in school zones more frequently this spring as part of an emphasis patrol campaign. The emphasis patrol campaign will operate from April 11 to June 9. The district is contracting with off-duty officers to provide this service. Police officers will be enforcing the posted speed limits, watching for distracted drivers and looking for other careless driving offenses. This safety awareness campaign is part of the district’s School Zone Safety Program.

“Student safety is at the top of the list of our priorities,” said Superintendent Dr. Bill Jordan. “As the weather improves and more children are walking and riding their bikes to school, we need to do our part to help keep everyone safe.”
