The Sedalia Police Department has received numerous complaints from citizens and School Resource Officers in reference to speeding vehicles in school zones during school hours.

According to the P.D., the Sedalia Traffic Unit and Crime Resolution Unit joined forces to implement a special operation during December 2021 and January 2022.

This focused enforcement led to numerous contacts, which resulted in citations, warnings and arrests for various offenses.

There were 107 total traffic stops- including seven arrests, 29 citations and 78 warnings.

The SPD Traffic Unit continues to plan enforcement events in which similar coordinated efforts will be enacted to saturate school zones or other problem areas.
