As area schools gear up for the 2017-2018 school year, the city of Pottsville and the Pottsville Police department will once again be utilizing a program they have named “Safe School Start.”
Uniformed officers will be conducting extra mobile and foot patrols to help raise awareness for safe travel of all students in the city during the first days of school.
The program is meant to highlight public awareness and enforcement of existing PA Vehicle Code restrictions with emphasis on school travel safety issues such as school zone safe speeds, distracted driving, and duties at a school bus.
Officers will also be focusing on promoting safe pedestrian travel practices by students.
