(KNZA)--Beginning Monday, February 21 through March 4, the Hiawatha Police Department will join other law enforcement agencies in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma with increased enforcement near high schools to raise awareness on roadway safety.
According to a news release, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens (15-18 years old) in the United States – ahead of all other types of injury, diseases or violence.
The release says officers will issue citations to any individual who refuses to obey the traffic laws, whether it is for speeding, texting or failing to buckle up.
The release says remind teens that driving is a privilege and encourage them to learn about the importance of driving safely. Also remind them to slow down, put their phone away or turn it off, and always buckle up.
