MIAMI-DADE SCHOOLS POLICE TO KICKOFF ‘OPERATION SLOW YOUR ROLL’
TRAFFIC SATURATION SERIES, SEPT. 7         

MIAMI – The Miami-Dade Schools Police Department will kickoff “Operation Slow Your Roll” – a year-round series of traffic saturation details at public school speed zones – on Tuesday, Sept. 7, from 7-10 a.m. and again from 1-4 p.m. at Miami-Dade public schools throughout the county. The department’s Mobile Command Center will be staged at American Senior High, 18350 N.W. 67th Ave., Hialeah.

The goal of the operation is to protect students from dangerous, aggressive and careless drivers by saturating school speed zones throughout the county with police presence during the schools’ opening and dismissal times.

The police departments of more than 30 municipalities within Miami-Dade County also have committed to participating in these operations throughout the year. The purpose of the event is symbolized in the slogan, “Every Cop…Every Kid,” and is built on safeguarding each school’s community.

For further information, contact Sgt. Ivan Silva, Police Information Officer, Miami-Dade Schools Police Department, at 786-256-9775 or via email at Isilva@dadeschools.net.
