Dear SCPD Cope Unit,

We the parents and community members of the Northport / East-Northport School District request increased traffic enforcement in our community's school zones, during school hours.

In a Facebook group entitled "Northport / East-Northport Mom's Group", several members have exchanged first-person accounts of aggressive driving in school zones, ranging from egregious speeding, to unsafe passing into oncoming traffic, over the double-yellow line. These events have taken place during the week of 10/29/18, during school hours.

We understand that SCPD has limited resources and many responsibilities and we appreciate any efforts the department can make; our request is motivated out of concern for the safety of our children, and the fear there will be another accident like the pedestrian who was hit back in September. We would be grateful for any form of enforcement, including officers, speed-signs, even a parked police car. We would welcome anything that would make motorists slow down.

Respectfully,
The under-signed.
