Killeen PD issues 76 speeding citations in 1.5 hours at school zone

The Killeen Police Department issued 76 speeding citations in 1.5 hours during a school zone enforcement detail at Pershing Park Elementary.

KILLEEN, Texas — A citizen complaint about speeders in the Pershing Park Elementary school zone led the Killeen Police Department Traffic Unit to set up a special enforcement detail for the area, KPD officials said.

Officers monitored the school zone at 15000 W. Central Texas Expressway, and in just an hour and a half, 95 citations were issued to drivers. 

Officials said 76 of those citations were for speeding.

Killeen police asked drivers to slow down and obey speed laws, especially in school zones.

"Our goal is to ensure the safety of our citizens and students as they walk and bike to and from school," KPD wrote in a press release.
