It's not a suggestion...you need to stop. School buses are statistically the safest way to transport school children. Unfortunately, dangers still arise: From 2000-2024, 63 fatalities in crashes involved a driver illegally passing a stopped school bus, an average of 2.5 fatalities a year. Almost half of those fatalities were pedestrians who were 18 years old or younger.

The folks at TE Connectivity recently reached out to the Greensboro Police Department to request a site assessment of their facilities and to build a stronger relationship with the City of Greensboro. Our District 3 Community Resource Officers (CROs) were honored to help! Our CROs regularly partner with local businesses to conduct security assessments using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. These assessments help identify opportunities to improve safety and reduce the likelihood of criminal activity through thoughtful improvements to lighting, landscaping, visibility, access control, and other environmental features. By working together with business owners, we're helping create safer environments for employees, customers, and the entire community. If your business is interested in a site assessment, contact your Districtโ€™s CRO using the link provided. Crime prevention starts with strong community partnerships! greensboro-nc.gov/departmentโ€ฆ
