TPD recently posted on its Facebook page reminding drivers to keep children safe by slowing down in school zones and avoiding distractions behind the wheel.

"With so many children walking and riding their bikes to and from school, it’s time for all drivers to put down their cell phones and focus on the road," TPD said.
