A new school year is a fresh start.

The first days back can bring a lot of excitement and plenty of adjustments along the way. What matters is how you choose to start and the choices you make from there.

Officer Stewart wraps up our back-to-school reminder series with a message for students about starting the year on the right foot.

Summer schedules are out. School routines are back.

Getting back into the swing of things can take a little time for students and families. A little planning the night before can make those early mornings feel a lot easier.

Officer Williams has our next back-to-school reminder to help you get back into the routine.

Before heading out the door, it never hurts to give that backpack one more look.

Some things belong at school. Others are better left at home. And sometimes, students may not be sure which is which.

Officer Wicks has our next back-to-school reminder about what not to bring to school and what to do when you are unsure.

The school day can start long before students reach the classroom.

For many families, it begins at the bus stop. And after a summer away, it is a good time for students and parents to get back into a safe routine.

Officer Basatemur has our next back-to-school reminder with a few things to keep in mind while waiting for the bus.

Back-to-school traffic is not only about the cars.

With students back in class, there are more people walking near our schools, too. That means drivers and pedestrians both have a part to play when they meet at a crosswalk.

Officer Santana has our next back-to-school reminder. Take a look before your next trip through a school zone.

Tomorrow morning will look a little different on the roads around Clayton. With students heading back to school, school zones will once again be part of the morning commute.

Whether you're headed to drop-off, work, or somewhere else around Town, it's a good time to get back into the school-day mindset.

Before Monday morning arrives, Officer Moore has your next back-to-school reminder. This one's for the drivers!

Yesterday, one of our beloved K9’s, Titan, passed away suddenly following a brief diagnosed illness.
Titan was a 7-year-old German Shepherd and had been a valued member of our department since May of 2021. He served admirably and faithfully alongside his partner, Traffic Unit Sgt. Greg Morris during every shift. We all knew when Titan was working because he loved to announce his presence and let everyone know he was on-duty and ready to go. He will be missed by us all and we are grateful for his service and commitment to Sgt. Morris and to our department and Town over the past 5 years.
We are grateful to the Wake County Sheriff’s Office, Wendell PD, Zebulon PD, and Garner PD for the assistance provided in our police es**rt of Titan yesterday evening.
Please keep Sgt. Morris and his family, along with all our officers and staff in your thoughts and prayers.
Rest easy big boy and job well done.

Carpool lines are about to get busy again. With students heading back to school Monday, give yourself a little extra time for drop-off. The first few days can take longer as families settle back into the routine.

Take a look before Monday morning!

Thinking about speeding through a school crosswalk? Officer Barefoot and K9 Rex have one thing to say about that… don’t even think about it.

With students heading back to school, slow down, stay alert, and be ready to stop at crosswalks. A few extra seconds can make a big difference.

And if you think no one is watching… K9 Rex might have something to say about that.
