Back to school

The Team from Bay of Plenty Police District

Over the coming week children will be heading back to school after the holiday break. Please be extra careful around schools and pedestrian crossings and if driving a vehicle reduce your speed and be prepared to stop suddenly. Children often get distracted and the excitement of catching up with friends again can often mean that they aren't always aware of the hazards around them.
