COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Cobb County police officers in the traffic unit work throughout the year but will be increasing patrols starting this morning around school zones.
Cobb County Schools go Back 2 School Thursday morning.
After seeing more accidents around schools last year, even the recent death of a crossing guard, Cobb County police will be out in force.
"We're not only talking school zones, but areas where kids may be getting ready to catch a school bus in the morning or getting off the school bus in the afternoons when schools is out," Cobb County Police Sgt. Wayne Delk said.

One driver was pulled over going 52 mph in a 35 mph zone.
"The biggest thing is just slow down and pay attention," Delk said.
