Lake Elsinore Police Plan Safety Crackdown Near Elementary Schools

Drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists who make conditions unsafe around Lake Elsinore's elementary schools can expect -- at the very least -- a tap on the shoulder Oct. 24.

In an ongoing effort to provide safety to pedestrians, to include school children on their way to classes, the Lake Elsinore Police Department will be conducting a crosswalk safety enforcement Thursday at several undisclosed areas in the city.  

Lake Elsinore Police Department traffic units will be targeting crosswalks that are in close proximity to elementary schools, according to a news release from Sgt. Peter Giannakakos of the Lake Elsinore Sheriff's Station.

Giannakakos did not specify what time the crackdown will begin and end.
