🚌 APD Launches Operation Safe Stop 🚔

🚸As students head back to school, Arlington Police Department is increasing education and enforcement around school zones, crosswalks, and bus stops.
Operation Safe Stop focuses on helping drivers follow Washington laws related to school zone speeds, school bus stop arms and flashing red lights, and pedestrian safety. Officers will provide visible patrols near schools and selected bus stops to help protect students walking, biking, riding buses, and being dropped off.

After four incredible years serving as the Arlington School District’s Resource Officer, APOA member, Officer Bauer is wrapping up his assignment and returning to patrol.

Throughout his time in the schools, Nate has been much more than a police officer. He has been a mentor, role model, trusted resource, and positive presence for countless students, staff, and families. His dedication to building relationships, supporting students, and strengthening connections between law enforcement and our community has left a lasting impact.

The influence he has had on the lives of these kids extends far beyond the classroom walls, and the relationships he built will continue to make a difference for years to come.

Thank you, Nate, for your heart for serving others. We are incredibly proud of the work you’ve done and grateful for the legacy you’ve left behind.

Please join us in welcoming Nate back to patrol with open arms. If you see him around town, be sure to give him a wave! 👋🚔

The APOA is heartbroken over the passing of K9 Oso. His loyalty, courage, and unwavering dedication to this community are something most of us can only hope to live up to. Over 16,000 calls, countless lives impacted, and a legacy that will never be forgotten.

Thank you, Oso, you were more than a K9, you were family, a teammate, and a symbol of what service truly means. The Rainbow Bridge gained a true hero today. We’ll see you again 🖤🐾
