Beginning March 24 through April 4, 2025, law enforcement agencies in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma will have increased enforcement near high schools to raise awareness on roadway safety.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens 15 to 18 years old in the United States ahead of all other types of injury, disease or violence.
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.
Remind teens that driving is a privilege and encourage them to learn about the importance of driving safely.
