“Several of the school buses have cameras on them that help us with enforcement of the passing of school buses when they have stopped and the arms are out,” Hasty said in a statement. “We as a department want to keep our kids safe while on the way to and from school.”
Meanwhile, Hasty reported the police department, the City County Drug Task Force, the state Highway Patrol and Weldon Police Department participated in checking stations Friday night.
The checkpoints were held at Becker Drive and Interstate 95 and Highway 48 and Vepco Street.
