Sheriff to Saturate School Zones
Posted By J.T. on September 12, 2009
In an effort to increase public awareness and keep the public safe as the school year returns, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office will target school zones and surrounding areas with saturated patrols.
The increased patrols will start on the morning of September 14 in the J Hwy area near Peculiar and Raymore before moving to other areas around Cass County for the next two weeks. While traffic enforcement is a year-round priority for the Cass County Sheriff’s Office, these high profile areas will be heavily patrolled during this two-week period.
“Our focus during this enforcement period is two-fold: The safety of the school children in our communities and education of the motoring public,” Sheriff Dwight Diehl said in a statement. Deputies will monitor speed and ensure passengers wear their seat belts.
The effort is funded through a grant from the Missouri Department of Transportation Highway Safety Division.
