The Junction City Police Department has announced via social media that beginning February 25th through March 8th that the JCPD will join other agencies in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma with increased enforcement near high schools to raise awareness on roadway safety. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens ( 15-18 years old ) in the United States.

Officers will issue citations to any person 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.
