the legialture didnt doany favoes by getting involved in this
$340,000 a year for garage operations, that was osmeting thwt was preivuly agenral fund expense.
These vehicles are called seerve use and we hot seat hte cars, it comes in the garage ofra shifr change a cop gets out and a cop gets in
we have 17 frontlien vehicles that have to be rady ot be used constntly and we have as eondary fleet that are upped in miles typically a few yearsold
Gottab uy six cars every eyar after three yaers its switched to the scondary fleet
The otherthing is, what people sont think of immedialty is that if we have an accidemt on the freeway we have to send our multiple offcer to boockoff lanes or shutdown ramps, so when we dont have thast itnial accient, hat gives us mroe time to deploy offfiersi ntio the neighborhoods and do mroe tradionl polcie wprk;
With the speed cameras, it’s afroce mulitplier I didnt rgasp immediately how signifcant it would be. When you have a grou fo cars cming at you,you dont ppick out one speeder, you pick them all. So its not, are they going ot cathc e? it not, im going toget caught if im speeding.
that has had a mental aspect or a emntal effect on people. I dont talk to anybody that doesnt say teh traffic has slowed down o nI680.
I was very disappoitned in the directoon the legialture took recently, we only use them in two place,s school zones and the freeway. we dont hide, we deploy unifom fficers, we never had a the mounted cameras, our offcers arephysically out there doing it an theres a huanelemnt
