Walton County Sheriff's Office:
WCSO TO BEGIN OPERATION BLUE BIRD STARTING THURSDAY, AUGUST 10TH
The 2023-2024 school year starts tomorrow. If you don't know, now you know. Parents, we get it, you're thrilled.
Walton County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind motorists of the start of our yearly initiative to help students head back to class safely.
Operation Blue Bird begins TOMORROW, August 10th, and addresses traffic violations in school zones and keeping buses safe along their routes.
Enforcement will focus on:
Speeding in school zones
Texting and driving
Passing a school bus that is stopped
Seatbelt violations
Reckless driving
These efforts are intended for the times before school begins and when schools release students to ensure they are getting to and from class without issue.
Drivers can expect a heavy presence of law enforcement in school zones. Unmarked vehicles will also be used to ensure motorists comply with school bus safety laws. Ye be warned.
“Our children deserve to begin their school year focusing on what truly matters,” said Sheriff Michael Adkinson. “Parents and students should not have to worry about whether they will make it to school without a crash or someone not obeying a stopped school bus.
That’s where we come in.”
Operation Blue Bird is scheduled to run through September 1st. Walton County Sheriff’s Office encourages drivers to be patient as we see increased traffic and congestion on the roadway. Let's send students back to school safely.
