FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WEDNESDAY APRIL 15TH 2026
MILFORD – During the week of April 12, 2026, the Milford Police Department continued “Operation Safe School Zone”, a multi-week enforcement initiative targeting traffic violations that endanger students and commuters in school zones throughout Milford.
During school arrival and dismissal times on April 14, 2026, members of the Milford Police Department Special Operations Unit conducted focused traffic enforcement in several school zones. As a result of the operation, officers observed 65 traffic violations, resulting in 38 citations and one criminal application.
“When you look at the data and see more than 100 moving violations in just eight hours of focused enforcement, it highlights a lack of awareness the motoring public has for school zone safety.” said Milford Chief of Police Robert Tusino.
In addition to the violations observed, officers issued three e-bike citations to juvenile riders.
“Our goal with this operation is not to burden drivers with fines, but to educate the public and make Milford a safer place to travel,” said Chief Tusino. “However, we will continue to issue citations and pursue charges when necessary to ensure the safety of our community.”
