Over the next couple of months, officers will be positioned along bus stops and routes watching for stop-arm violations and unsafe driving behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The overtime patrols are funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the state\u2019s Stop Arm Violation Enforcement (SAVE) program, which was developed by the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisregarding a school bus stop arm is a very dangerous and serious offense,\u201d said Lt Tony Maze, Fort Wayne Police Department. \u201cWe want students to arrive to school and return home safely, which is why we\u2019re asking all motorists to drive cautiously around buses or face the consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The department joins more than 200 around the state for the spring enforcement campaign, designed to encourage motorists to stop for school buses. High-visibility patrols will be conducted in the morning and afternoon along routes identified by local bus drivers and school transportation officials.<\/p>\n<p>While officers will be focusing on stop-arm violations, they will also be on the lookout for any unsafe driving behavior such as speeding and distracted driving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still have far too many people speeding and not paying attention to the road,\u201d said Devon McDonald, ICJI Executive Director. \u201cOne glance at your phone is all it takes to cause a tragedy. Children are unpredictable, so it\u2019s important to stay alert and be prepared to stop at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Indiana, it\u2019s against the law for motorists to pass a bus that\u2019s stopped and has its red lights flashing and stop-arm extended. This applies to all roads, with one exception. Motorists who are on a highway that is divided by a barrier, such as a cable barrier, concrete wall or grassy median, are required to stop only if they are traveling in the same direction as the school bus. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuses in some school districts are returning to the roadway for the first time in nearly a year after spring break concludes, so it\u2019s especially important to stay alert in those areas,\u201d said Robert Duckworth, ICJI Traffic Safety Director. \u201cWe all have a role to play when it comes to school bus safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about FWPD, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fwpd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.fwpd.org<\/a>, or click here for a list of school bus safety tips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/category\/public-safety\/fwpd\/\">Click here for more Fort Wayne Police Department posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_05_09_header.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Police Memorial Service.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='6be39a36648cafb1307108049cd2ec88' data-image-id=\"1754\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/2009_05_09_header.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_05_09_header.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/05\/09 - Police Memorial Service\" data-description=\"The Police Memorial Service.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/05\/09 - Police Memorial Service\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/05\/09 - Police Memorial Service\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1754\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/blog-headers\/thumbs\/thumbs_2009_05_09_header.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/90294.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard in the 2009 Parnell Avenue Memorial Day Parade on May 25, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='6be39a36648cafb1307108049cd2ec88' data-image-id=\"2028\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/90294.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/thumbs\/thumbs_90294.jpg\" data-title=\"Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard\" data-description=\"The Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard in the 2009 Parnell Avenue Memorial Day Parade on May 25, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Fort Wayne Police Department Honor Guard\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"2028\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/20090525\/thumbs\/thumbs_90294.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2006-trf\/13641.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Fort Wayne Police Department cars and motorcycles along with Allen County Sheriff&#039;s motorcycles lined up on Superior Street after the 2006 Three Rivers Festival Parade.
