Over the next six weeks, the Erie Police Department’s Motorcycle Unit will patrol school zones across the city.
Sgt. Scott Kornetz is the Commander of the Erie bureau’s eight officer unit.
His morning starts at Grover Cleveland School on West 38th Street in Erie.
He transitions to Erie High School before returning to Grover Cleveland in the afternoon.
Kornetz told Erie News Now, “This is the best way to help keep these kids safe as they travel to school in the morning.”
Kornetzt said officers are also handing out warning cards to motorists caught using handheld devices.
Beginning in June, Police will officially begin enforcing a law that includes a summary offense, costing 200 dollars.
