. . .and we take yet another step toward deputizing private citizens to monitor and report on their neighbors.

Thanks for the shout Fraz!

I disagree Wil. With the amount of requests for enforcement and perceived problems that we receive, there is no way to adequately cover each of them. This gives residents an avenue to participate without any knowledge of who is being reported when the plates are run. No information is shared with the volunteer. The program is also an educational tool. Many times, folks perception of speed is exaggerated. By using the radar, they have a hands on experience and actually compare their perception of speed with actual reads. Sometimes what was thought to be a problem is not really there. By posting the neighborhood where there is participation, it brings a heightened awareness to speeding to all those that see the signs. If we find that directed enforcement is needed, then our presence makes an impact.

Take a look at the program, you may have a different view. We hope to use this as just another tool in the box to help in the community.

Thanks Tom! I have to agree that giving people the tools to keep their neighborhoods safe and sound only serves to make them a better community in the long run.
