Sergeant Tyler joined some of our law enforcement partners at Bow High School earlier this week for Operation Safe Stop, an initiative that aims to increase student and school bus safety. Slow down, stay alert, and always STOP for the red flashing lights! Unlawfully passing a school bus is not only illegal, but also extremely dangerous.
With the new school year for SAU 67 (Bow/Dunbarton) starting next week, please be mindful of school buses completing their morning and afternoon routes. Please also be cautious of increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic around the Dunbarton Elementary School (DES) during morning drop-off and afternoon pickup.
We will maintain a consistent presence in and around DES throughout the school year to help ensure the safety of students, faculty, and staff. Here's to a fun and safe school year!
Lt. Pratte and Sgt. Welch were proud to attend the Manchester Transit Authority's press conference at Bow High School, highlighting the important message that student safety is everyone’s responsibility.
The Bow Police Department remains deeply committed to working with our schools, families, transportation partners, and community members to help ensure the safety of our students each and every day.
One of the most important ways drivers can help is by stopping for school bus red flashing lights. When those lights are flashing, students may be entering or exiting the bus. Please stop, remain stopped, and never attempt to pass a school bus displaying its red warning lights.
A few extra seconds can make all the difference. Let’s work together to keep our students safe.
Slow down. Stay alert. Stop for the red flashing lights.
