Safe driving starts with simple choices: Eyes up. Phone down. Slow down. Give space.
The most common violations officers encounter include:
• Failure to register a vehicle
• Speeding
• No insurance
• Failure to signal
• Stop sign violations
Following traffic laws helps keep our roads safe for everyone.

Stay safe big guy
Good work, stay safe
Thank you. Stay safe.
On Wednesday, April 1 we congratulated the second semester graduates of the WPD S.T.A.R.T. program by students from Journey Elementary.
Substance Tobacco Alcohol Resistance Training (S.T.A.R.T.) is a comprehensive and adaptable substance abuse prevention curriculum for fifth-grade students. Over nine classes, students learn about critical issues facing youth today, such as tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, bullying and cyberbullying, peer pressure, and citizenship. School Resource Officers lead all classes, utilizing a combination of instructional strategies for student engagement, including interactive learning, lectures, writing prompts, group exercises, and peer-led discussions. Each lesson is focused on helping students understand positive and negative decision-making and providing them with the tools necessary to confidentially express the program’s motto:
“Start by saying NO!”

What is a directed patrol?
Would be nice to give motorcycles room too. To many times I see most prominently three letters in my rearview mirrors "MAR" right on my back tire way to often.
Thank you, WPD, for watching over our community! Be safe!
