I’m lucky to be retired so I see the our cops around town. Sure, they get breakfast and lunch breaks just like every working employee, and I see them at eating at Teddy’s or at the deli. That is their privilege. Fortunately for a customer who had a medical emergency while eating at lunch at Teddy’s, one of our cops also was taking his lunch break there. I’d rather have them eating locally where they can interact with the people in town. <br /> <br />As far as being visible, they are. I see them all the time cruising throughout the town. With the re-implementation of the traffic division, I’ve noticed increased speed inforcement throughout town. The police are also more visible on Main Street during rush hour, which is (I think) a good thing for pedestrian safety. <br /> <br />They work hard for this community. Who do you think puts together the annual “National Night Out?” They participate in school education programs, bike safety programs, drug education education, etc. They try to reach out to the community with the monthly “ have coffee with the chief and mayor at Teddy’s.” <br /> <br />I’ll put our police officers up against Hightstown’s or any other town’s. Those who complained on this post just like to throw barbs and have no idea what they’re talking about.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>anon-42rq</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Apr 5 2019, 6:22 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury Press: Traffic Bureau to Return</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Tickets don’t matter as Cranbury doesn’t get revenue.

So they can put patrols out easily and have a visible presence. However, there are many times as well I go down Main Street in Hightstown and don’t see a police car. They are not there all the time.

Here is the point of the Hightstown example, when traveling through Hightstown you constantly see Patrol cars, if you do don't , they are probably observing without being seen or at least that is the impression, as they are always around . Hence the belief that Hightstown enforces the Speed limit, so if their Patrolman are out getting lunch, motorists still believe this is not the place to speed. <br /> <br />In Cranbury Patrol cars are rarely around, except after an incident, a Parade, or Utility work. After an incident out come the lighted signs and flashing speed numbers, where are they right now? If Motorists believed ( through Enforcement) that Cranbury is not the Town to speed in, there would be no need for a Traffic Enforcement Committee , formulating one proves there is a problem. Speed limit compliance can only be achieved through High Visibility , Patrol and Enforcement. Once that message is sent, and the Speeding through Town has been stopped, go take a Well deserved Break, but not until Speed Enforcement is delivered. All support is given to this New initiative, but it is believed they will arrive at the same conclusion, and hopefully before another Tragedy.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>anon-43q7</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Mar 15 2019, 7:42 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Cranbury Press: Traffic Bureau to Return</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I don’t know if the police keep the data that way.
