This will be the 21st year that Niagara Regional Police implement the back to school safety initiative
Niagara Regional Police will fan out across school zones in the Niagara Region next week reminding drivers and pedestrians of student's return to school.
Starting at 8:00am Tuesday September 7th., officers and detectives will be reassigned from their daily duties in order to participate in this important initiative, now in its 21st year.
Officers will be paying close attention to school zones and their posted speed limits, child restraint systems, school bus safety, aggressive driving and distracted driving concerns.
In addition, the NRPS Traffic Enforcement Unit continues to partner with Niagara Student Transportation Services (NSTS) in regards to Video Surveillance on school buses.
A stop arm violation, or failure to stop for a school bus when the red overhead flashing lights are on and the stop arm is deployed is reported to the NRPS for further investigation.
