Mayor Dwight Jones, Police Chief Bryan Norwood, and Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Yvonne Brown will be leading a meeting today at 3pm at John Marshal High School (4225 Old Brook Road) to introduce the Safe Corridors Initiative.
A little background on the Safe Corridors Initiative…
Safe Corridors is an initiative to promote public safety for high school students attending Richmond Public Schools.
“Safe Corridors is about the safety of our young people in school and out of school,” Chief Norwood said. “We want them to have safe passage as they travel the hallways at school and the roadways on the way to and from school.”
The Department has a school resource officer assigned to each public high school in the city. The officers work with Richmond Public Schools security officers to resolve any crime-related issues that may arise during the school day.
High school students with cars should be aware of speed limits and all safe driving laws, especially those regarding seat belts and cell phone usage. The Department’s Traffic Unit and sector officers from each precinct will increase traffic and radar enforcement in and around school zones.
