In the Spotlight
School is back in session in Helena. Along with learning and extracurricular activities, the new school year also means the return of school traffic around town. From buses and school zones to increased pedestrian and bike traffic, the changes are felt across the community

The Helena Police Department is taking this opportunity to promote driving habits that help keep our streets safe this school year. In late August, the City shared a message from Police Chief Brett Petty and Helena's Superintendent of Public Schools Rex Weltz. The video offers some simple reminders for school drop-off and pick-up.


The department will be sharing more messages in the coming weeks. For more Safe Street tips, and other safety reminders, please visit the Police Department's Crime Prevention & Safety webpage.
