MILFORD POLICE KICK OFF OPERATION SAFE SCHOOL ZONE
MILFORD - On Monday March 23, 2026, the Milford Police Department began “Operation Safe School Zone”. The multi-week enforcement directive from Chief of Police Robert Tusino is designed to target traffic violators putting students and commuters at risk.
On the morning of March 23rd, the Milford Police Special Operations Unit focused on addressing traffic infractions at Milford High School, Stacy Middle School, Brookside Elementary School, Woodland Elementary School and Memorial Elementary School. After four hours, 46 separate traffic violations were observed, resulting in 24 citations and 4 criminal applications being issued.
“The first day of our operation was a success. However, this is not an initiative about cumulative citations to the public but an effort to educate through enforcement. We must do everything we can to keep our students and drivers safe.” Said Milford Chief of Police Robert Tusino
The Milford Police Department plans to continue Operation Safe School Zone on select days for the remainder of the school year.
“This is one facet of a larger operation to make Milford a safer place to commute. It’s well known that we have an on-going safety issue with E-Bikes. We will address that as well as this continues.”
