Middletown Borough Police Department
Operation Safe Stop
Operation Safe Stop is a proactive approach to educate the motoring public that passing a stopped school bus, when children are loading or unloading, is both dangerous and illegal. Law enforcement agencies, school transportation providers, pupil transportation associations, and PennDOT have combined their efforts to raise public awareness about the potential consequences of these traffic violations and reduce the occurrence of illegal school bus passes.
On Wednesday October 23, 2024 the Middletown Borough Police Department, along with other police departments in the Commonwealth, will be participating in Operation Safe Stop. Officers will be conducting enforcement details at bus stops looking for motorists who commit traffic violations involving illegal school bus passes. Our goal is to keep our children safe.
