Shout out to the Pennsylvania Capitol Police for their recent participation in the inaugural Capital Region Torch Run for the Special Olympics on September 15!

Capitol Police Officers provided bicycle es**rt throughout the ride, as well as traffic control and es**rt services for the passing of the torch at the Capitol Building steps. The torch run, which began in Mechanicsburg, involved a number of law enforcement, military personnel and Special Olympics athletes carrying the flame to the PSP Academy in Hershey before completing the final leg to opening ceremonies at Hershey High School the next day.
According to the officers, it was a great way to support the community, other law enforcement agencies, and especially the young athletes to whom this event means so much. One of our officers even made a new friend along the way!

Thanks to Sergeants John Biesecker and Vito Perugino, who provided bicycle es**rt for the entire 29-mile ride; Officers Brad Yorgy and Brice Joseph who provided bicycle es**rt on the Capitol Complex; Officers Thomas Dewees, Justin Seibel, Nevin McCabe, Kristie Morgan, and David Goreski, who directed traffic on the Capitol Complex; and Corporal Christopher Cruz who provided aerial support with the drone.

Back-to-school season is upon us! The Pennsylvania Capitol Police wish our students a successful, enjoyable, and healthy school year. Across Pennsylvania, school buses are taking to the road to transport young scholars to and from school in the safest way possible.

All drivers are responsible for following school bus safety laws – especially those requiring motorists to stop for buses with flashing lights. YOU play a direct role in making sure our students can arrive at school and return home safely.

Remember:

• Motorists must stop at least 10 feet away from school buses that have their red lights flashing and stop arm extended.
• Motorists must stop when they are behind a bus, alongside a bus, meeting the bus, or approaching an intersection where a bus is stopped. Once the red lights have stopped flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn, and all children have reached safety, you may resume travel.
• Do not proceed until all the children have reached a place of safety.

For more safety tips, visit the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation School Bus Safety page: https://www.penndot.pa.gov/TravelInPA/Safety/TrafficSafetyAndDriverTopics/pages/school-bus-safety.aspx
