Officers were out during the morning drop-off and again after school on Tuesday, keeping an eye on motorists and students as the new school year got underway.

Of the 30 tickets issued, approximately 27 were for speeding in community safety zones. Other tickets included offences such as using a cell phone while driving and disobeying signs.

Police also issued seven Part III summonses, including two for operating a motor vehicle without insurance, along with other equipment-related charges. Fourteen warnings were also given to motorists for a variety of offences.

Police say officers will continue to be present in school zones throughout the week.

Motorists are reminded to slow down, pay attention and be aware of students and crossing guards.
