we get a lot of complaints a lot of the really long term evolves around speeding and things like that in the past i don't think we were doing enough to address these problems so i addressed my concerns with the chief and he was very receptive to coming up with some kind of plan to address the complaints were received so as a result we came up with a number of goals we wanted to accomplish first of all we wanted to make sure we're making the community safer place everything we're doing out there was going to address that issue second we wanted to create a closer relationship between our police officers in the citizens that we serve and third we want to be transparent we want to be able to show people you're following  complaint we're taking your complaints seriously and here's the things we're doing to address those results we came up with a number of strategies to address that and the first thing we did was we created a traffic enforcement officer for each shift so each shift has a tra he contacts the complaint hilton any of the person information such as the days of the week the times the different violations that this person is concerned about we also formed a questionnaire that we're using the traffic enforcement will go through  questionnaire with a complaint to make sure we're taking all the information so that we can best address that complaint and then last he goes out and conduct the site review and can deeds conduct or completes a traffic  specialized patrol to address that certain problem i'm going to get into that later and probably a lot of the questions that you guys may have addressed throughout the presentation the second thing we did was we created a tra if the if it's properly posted with speed limit signs determine if there's any other measures such as other postings such as you know children or play signs or something like that that need to be put in place and i also assess if there's any road effects or part of the problem i complete a statistical analysis of the data that's collected and from that data i determine if additional saturated patrols need to be completed and they're completed a seven day permit i also contact the complainant unwise them of the data that we collected any action that we took towards their complaint and any of the record but the recommendations i intend to make i offer to meet with the complainant show them individual data that we collect i also you know encourage that because i want to show them the data i want to show them the number of tickets we read the number of warnings what the high speeds were what the low speeds were any of that kind of stuff so they have individual troll ships or signs around the hours which are being identified as problems harms these different locations also as are encouraged to involve the complaints and anyone else in the area who question what it is we're doing we want to try to one all the public as much  our officers out and we're asking them to go out in any violation they observe there to act on it and we expect them to issue citations for the different ways this is an attempt to punish the motoring public for my standpoint this is important because we want to educate them we want them to understand that we're encouraging our officers to speak with motors and tell them this is why we're here we're having complaints we're conducting these extra patrols and the point of these extra trolls is zero tolerance so we want these people to understand what it is we're out there doing we want them to go out and tell other people that they were there so that part of that whole process is education at the end of this fourteen day initial saturated patrol if we're averaging one point five traffic stops or more than what we do as we continue to saturate patrols for another seven days at the end of that seven days it's reevaluated and the same criteria apply we keep doing it every seven days until we our goal and our goal was to be below one point five traffic stops her average saturated patrols once we reach that below one point five average then we see the saturated patrols continue the saturated patrols rather than just this is the information that if i'm reviewing some of the logs that are coming in and i'm seeing that there is a high volume of cars or there's these periodic excessive speed  double the speed limit then again we made we do this seven days actually one of the examples i pulled and this is a similar example we've been experiencing started this program for the last few month the typical result we've been seeing is it started with the program as the three hundred block or bunker hill drive basically we had a complaint of speeding vehicles monday through friday the point was that vehicles were speeding between seven am and seven fifteen am and two thirty pm and two forty five pm this is a common occurrence this is mainly what our speeding complaints come in as because accordingly to school traffic and to complain in this one was insistent that the majority of the violations were coming from high school age students so we conducted a saturated patrols in a fourteen day period we totaled four hours and fifty five minutes on these details and all the saturated patrols  and then we basically for lack of a better term a chase core to actually stop that hard issue the we have the staffing available we're doing them for example the bunker hill obviously she's reporting monday through friday in that fourteen day period we did eight so i'm assuming two were not done because of staffing but as long as we can you know the it's approved by the state for us to run so generally what we're doing is one officer is collecting the data from the end rather than the other officers actually stopping the cars and issue citations so i can certainly attest it's working because i know you guys are targeted cent church and johnson wrote about two months ago and certainly the speeding on asteroid has decreased significantly and i appreciate that yes the inroad unit has been put out there i believe at least three times and i know one day when i was at home with my sick daughter you guys had three people pulled over in front of at as far as the second or third to a future but again you know doing a lot of speed enforcement we you know like you said you can cite a number of spots that are you know the speeds are high our employment criteria currently firefighters all firefighters full time or part time require firefighter to certification the belief that that is an impediment towards getting sight distance to the left in the solution that residents are proposing is place see a mirror at this intersection now the township has had a if there's a mirror to go up it will be the township responsibility the problem with the mirrors are a couple things one they're difficult to maintain if we put one up here be prepared for four more requests for mirrors and you've got the responsibility when they become damaged to immediately get the prepare how can we just trim the trees back well we can look at that i don't know whether that solves that problem or not
