RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment Prepares for Back to School: Increased Patrols in School Zones

As students across the region prepare to return to school, the RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment is taking proactive steps to ensure a safe transition for everyone. Our officers will be conducting additional patrols in school zones and increasing their presence at schools to promote road safety and protect our young learners.

Drivers are reminded to exercise extra caution when driving, particularly in areas with high pedestrian activity, such as school zones and bus stops. Reduced speed limits in school zones are in effect, and officers will be closely monitoring compliance to ensure that everyone, especially students, remains safe as they head back to class.

Inspector Cory Bushell, RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment, emphasized the importance of driver awareness during this critical time: "The safety of our students is a top priority. We urge all drivers to remain vigilant, slow down in school zones, and adhere to all road safety regulations. Let's work together to ensure a smooth and safe start to the school year."

We wish all students, teachers, and school staff a successful and safe school year. Our officers will continue to be out in the community, working to keep everyone safe.
