The Kansas City Police Department Special Operations Division has begun concentrating enforcement in school zones at least one day a month.

In September, officers cited 280 people in school zones in one day. About 90 percent of those were for speeding. These tickets were issued throughout the city in various school districts.

If residents are concerned about speeding or dangerous driving near a particular school, they may call the traffic complaint coordinator, (916) 482-8174.

Drivers are reminded to always slow down when approaching a school zone, even if you don’t see any children.
