Chief Sutton: police will be out in force for the start of school

The first day of school is Sept 4

Lake Forest Park Police Chief Stephen Sutton will have officers out in force for the start of school next week

The first day of school for the Shoreline School District is Wednesday, September 4th, and the Lake Forest Park Police Department would like to make sure that the new school year starts out safe for our children. Our police officers will be out in force patrolling neighborhoods before, during, and after school looking for motorists speeding and not paying attention to driving (i.e. on the cell phone, texting, etc.).

As a reminder, the school zone speed enforcement cameras will also be turned back on and will be active in the morning from 7:00am - 9:30am and in the afternoon from 2:00pm - 4:30pm on all school days. These cameras are an essential part of our overall effort to make our children safe at school. 

When driving in school zones, stay alert and drive safely. Our children’s lives depend on it.
