SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Grant funding continues to help Springfield Police Department officers crack down on drivers not yielding to pedestrians. Wednesday morning, officers stationed themselves at a crosswalk near Sunset St. and Grant Ave. to monitor how people are complying with the law. One officer in plain clothing acts as a pedestrian, a second functions as a spotter and a third is in a patrol vehicle, ready to stop those who do not properly yield to the pedestrian.
