The Mobile Police Department is giving a little bit of homework to drivers as thousands of kids prepare to go back to school Thursday morning.

“The first couple of weeks is just getting people acclimated to school being in. And getting people to realize that hey, I need to slow down in these school zones. I need to watch out for the flashing lights on the buses. I need to be mindful of the kids crossing the streets,” Cpl. Blakely said“Some of the kids walking to school, it being their first time, they may not be aware of the dangers that being so close to roadway can cause,” Cpl.
