Pella PD Cars August 2015

With classes ending for students this week, area police departments are reinforcing safe driving practices.

Lt. Paul Haase with the Pella Police Department encourages drivers to practice extra caution near schools and parks as many kids get outside to enjoy the outdoors. He says children often dart into a roadway without notice.

Haase reinforces avoiding distractions while behind the wheel and obeying the posted speed limit, as that is the best to way to ensure everyone has a safe summer.
