Quote:Life-size cutouts of officers have appeared in front of Pflugerville schools over the past two days and will be rotating to different campuses for the next couple of weeks, Chief Chuck Hooker said.
Hooker said Quick Signs, a Pflugerville business, used blown-up photos of officers to make the cutouts, which were donated to the city.
"Motorists will definitely brake slightly" for the cutouts, he said. Hooker also said he thinks that even after people realize it's not a real officer, they will remain conscious of their speed.
He said that once school has been in session a few weeks and drivers are used to slowing down around them, the cutouts will begin appearing in other parts of town.
