Back-to-School Traffic Enforcement Campaign in Loudoun

Release:

Summer break is coming to an end and Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman is reminding all drivers to watch for school-aged children walking to and from school, as they may forget to watch for you.

In a video message launched via social media and through Alert Loudoun, Sheriff Chapman is sending a friendly reminder to residents to follow all speed and traffic signs, be extra careful around our area schools and to obey signals by law enforcement and crossing guards. “By ignoring their signals, drivers put the lives of the children and crossing guards in danger,” said Sheriff Chapman.

As part of the agency’s efforts, Loudoun Sheriff’s Deputies will be conducting a Back-to-School campaign strictly enforcing speed and other traffic violations in the area of elementary, middle and high schools throughout the county. The campaign is to ensure the safety and welfare for the children returning to school.

Loudoun Sheriff’s Deputies will be utilizing RADAR, LIDAR, “Smart Trailers”, marked and unmarked cruisers, as well as the agency’s motorcycle unit.

Please help us make this a safe school-year for our children.
