Boca Raton issued 5,331 citations from July 2025 through June 2026 through speed-detection cameras at three schools, police Chief Jarad Phelps told City Council on Tuesday.

Phelps presented the annual report on the program, which covers Addison Mizner School, Boca Raton Community High School and J.C. Mitchell Elementary School. The $100 citations were issued by cameras that have been active since October 2025. Council members approved the program with RedSpeed in April of last year.

Court outcomes

Of the citations, 22 were contested, 21 were upheld and 544 were dismissed. Phelps also said 1,405 citations were dismissed because RedSpeed did not have an established connection to the Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court until recently.

The city is now expanding the program. Cameras went up Monday at Blue Lake Elementary, Calusa Elementary, Omni Middle and Spanish River Community High School. Those schools are in a 30-day warning period, so drivers will receive warning citations for now. Starting in December, speeding drivers in those school zones will face the $100 fine.
