With Coffee County and Manchester City Schools back in session this week, families are back to the daily hustle to get kids where they need to be. The Coffee County Sheriff’s Department (CCSD) finds this time of the year to be busy for their Department as well. School zone speed limits will be in effect. CCSD Captain Billy Butler explains their increased presence (Click the play button below to hear from Capt. Butler):

Your child may be interested in participating in this program and can find out more information from their School Resource Officer, as Lt. Ray explains (click the play button to hear Lt.
