Today marks the start of School Bus Safety Week (October 17th-21st, 2022). Officers will be out all week as a part of Operation Safe Stop, making sure people are following the laws when it comes to driving around school buses.

It’s really pretty easy – think of a stopped school bus like a traffic signal. If the overhead lights are flashing yellow – prepare to stop. If the overhead lights are flashing red – stop. And if the big red stop arm is out… stop. Keep in mind, Stop Arm Cameras are approved and in use on school buses statewide.

And when the hazard lights are flashing – proceed with caution. Follow my advice, and you’ll help us make sure kids are getting to and from school safely. Thank you!
