Today in Green Bay, children are filing back into schools, and following a chaotic end to the last school year, police are placing a high priority on student safety.
The Green Bay Police Department has announced a partnership with the Green Bay Area Public School District, where they will have extra officers near school zones. This serves a double purpose.
Not only is it a visual reminder for drivers to reduce their speed to 15 MPH in a school zone when children are present, but it is also so they are ready if something were to happen.
As a reminder, if you are driving behind a school bus, and the flashing red lights come on, you are NOT allowed to pass that bus, and you must stop no closer than 20 feet from the bus.
