Back to School: DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office Issues Safety Alert for Drivers in School Zones
As the new school year begins, the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office is emphasizing the importance of safety in school zones. With students returning to classes, it is crucial for drivers to remain vigilant and prioritize the well-being of young pedestrians and cyclists.
Drivers are strongly urged to avoid using their phones while navigating school zones. Distracted driving poses a significant risk, and no text message or call is worth compromising a child’s safety. Staying focused on the road and being aware of one’s surroundings are essential steps in ensuring a secure environment for students.
By committing to responsible driving practices, including refraining from phone use in school areas, drivers contribute to a safer community for everyone. The DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office appreciates your cooperation in making our school zones safer for all.
For the safety of our future generations, let’s all do our part to drive responsibly.
