School is back in session, which means school buses are back on our roads. 🚌

A quick reminder for drivers: When a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, traffic in both directions must stop unless the roadway is separated by a physical barrier or unpaved median.

Please stay alert, slow down and help keep students safe as they travel to and from school.

Congratulations to Captain Wade Borchers, who retired today after 28 years of dedicated service to the Lenexa Police Department and our community.

Throughout his career, Captain Borchers served in a variety of roles, including patrol officer, narcotics detective, directed patrol officer, patrol supervisor, investigations supervisor, and watch commander. His leadership and commitment to professional growth also led him to graduate from the FBI National Academy, Session 266.

Captain Borchers has been a strong advocate for mental health awareness throughout his career. He played an active role in statewide Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) efforts, served on the Johnson County Mental Health Advisory Board, and served on the CIT International Board of Directors. His work in this area has made an impact well beyond our department and community.

For nearly three decades, Captain Borchers has served Lenexa with dedication, leadership, and professionalism. We are grateful for his many contributions to our department, his fellow officers, and the community he has served.

Congratulations, Captain Borchers, on an outstanding career. We wish you all the best in a well-earned retirement!

🎒 School’s back and so are busy mornings (and afternoons)! 🚌

As students head back to class this week, remember that our streets will look a little different than they did during summer break.

🚗 Drivers: Slow down, leave a little earlier, and watch for students near schools, neighborhoods, and crosswalks.

🅿️ Parking: Please obey all posted traffic and parking signs around schools. Avoid stopping or parking in restricted areas, even if it’s “just for a minute.” These restrictions help maintain visibility, traffic flow, and safe access around our schools.

🚦 Afternoon pickup: The end of the school day typically brings some of the heaviest congestion around our schools. Expect delays, be patient with other drivers, and allow yourself extra time. Please don’t let a frustrating pickup line lead to an unsafe driving decision.

🚌 School buses: Be prepared for frequent stops and please do not pass when red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.

🚶 Parents: Please teach children to use sidewalks and crosswalks when available, to look both ways before crossing, and keep eyes up, not on their phone.

🚲 Bicyclists: Wear a helmet, follow traffic laws and make yourself visible to drivers.

📵 Everyone: Whether you’re driving, walking or biking, distractions can wait.

A little patience and a few extra minutes can go a long way toward keeping everyone safe.

Have a safe and great school year, Lenexa! 📚✏️
