Grime Prevention Corner
With Officer Morris
Greetings Baytown Sun readers, let me take a
minute to introduce myself to the family. I’m Offi-
cer Randell Morris a native Baytonian and a police
officer in this beautiful bayou city of Baytown for
the past 10 years. As a certified Crime
Prevention specialist for the last five
years, I have been part of the Crime
Prevention Unit which brings us to the
monthly start of the Crime Prevention
Comer.
As everyone is aware, unless you’ve
been fishing in Cedar Bayou all sum-
RANDELL mer, school is starting up again next
MORRIS week. I would like to offer a few tips
____________in regards to school zones, cell phones,
and speed limits. Be mindful that there will be more
traffic at all local surrounding schools than Garth
Road on Saturday.
School buses will be loading and unloading kids
during your morning commute and when you are
returning home from your very busy day at work.
Watch out for crossing guards and kids crossing the
street. Pay attention to posted speed limit signs and
avoid using your cell phones in school zones. Be on
the defensive with kids riding their bicycles. When
we were kids and we rode our bikes to school, we
were a little careless too.
Remember not all schools are created equally.
Follow all traffic rules, signs and signals. Pay atten-
tion to parents picking up kids and dropping off their
kids. Also, be aware of weather conditions. And one
last tip, maybe the most important, please do not
pass a school bus with its red lights flashing.
