Beginning October 31 and continuing through November 4, the Junction City Police Department will join other Kansas law enforcement agencies to stop what has been likened to an epidemic in Kansas. In 2014, 28 children ages infant to 17 lost their lives due to car crashes in Kansas. Sadly, half of those children were not wearing seat belts, and eight of them were ejected from the vehicle.

Starting on October 31 and continuing through November 4, law enforcement across Kansas will be extra-vigilant when patrolling around schools.
