Enhanced School Safety Measures Across Regions

Law enforcement agencies across several regions are ramping up safety measures as schools resume. The Northport Police Department will strictly enforce traffic laws concerning children at school campuses following safety complaints. In Bangor, Maine, officers will monitor school zones and bus stops to ensure drivers comply with traffic rules throughout the school year. The Westport Police Department has introduced new guidelines to limit access to school properties during school hours to enhance security. Additionally, the Lonavla police have implemented extensive campus safety measures, including staff character verification and increased patrols. In Clay County, extra security measures will be in place at Middleburg High School following a student threat, and concerns over construction safety at Wallkill schools have been raised by staff, prompting calls for air quality testing before the new school year.
