Most
of you have probably seen the Police Department's
speed trailer and pole mounted speed tracking devices around town. We also have stationary
radar in two patrol units and a portable laser and
radar unit. These tools are utilized
to target problem speeding areas in the City.
The speed limit in our residential areas is 25 miles
per hour. This is important for the safety of our
citizens, especially our children. Fines and court
costs are expensive reminders to slow down.
When you see the speed trailer or devices on poles around St. Bernard,
hopefully, you will take an opportunity to evaluate
your own speed and check the accuracy of your car's
speedometer.
To request the trailer in your area, call the station
and make a request and ask for an officer to stop by
to discuss the problems you are noticing and the
logistics for placement of the trailer and/or patrol
units.
Please remember we only have one speed trailer and to
date, it has been very popular. Subsequently,
you may have to wait a few days, as we will take the
requests in the order they are received. Let's
keep our children safe!
