News conference: Safe Stop initiative (July 24, 2024)

Sheriff Grady Judd and Polk County Public Schools Superintendent Fred Heid are giving details about a new safety initiative being launched this school year that aims to keep school children riding on buses safer.
The Safe Stop program provides state-of-the-art technology mounted on school buses - it includes cameras which will capture those who violate Florida Statute 316.172, passing a stopped school bus that is displaying a stop signal. The violation videos and license plate images captured will be reviewed by a PCSO deputy sheriff before a warning or traffic citation is issued to the registered owner of the vehicle.
