If you don't call the police when you see it little will be done and you will have to live with the noise.

For several weeks dirt bikes and ATVs are back in FULL force and RUNNING THE STREETS ... today 10/26, about 12 riders have been out--seems they just do NOT care about what NHPD or the hard working people of this City who ARE just trying to enjoy a peaceful Sunday at home have to say.

It's all about them -- me, me, me, and they do as they please. They are above the LAW!

This is ridiculous.

Of course they don't care. Actually they care to disturb you, to make noise, to be noticed, and probably to have fun doing it. And breaking the law? What law?

If you know where dirt bikes, quads and ATVs are garaged, report it to the New Haven Police ATV hotline at (203) 946-6098. Or, call your NHPD district manager. By reporting where these cars ATV and dirt bikes are stored, your district manager can build a case for getting a search warrant and eventually they will be able to confiscate the machines. But, first they need to build a case. They need to gather evidence.

For example, in the Edgewood/Dwight Neighborhood it is Sgt. Steve Torquati at (203) 946-7597. In the Whalley, Edgewood, Beaver Hills (WEB) Neighborhood it is Lt. Makiem Miller at (203) 589-3318 or mmiller@newhavenct.net. They will investigate and can confiscate the vehicles.

You can also contact your LCI neighborhood specialist. In Edgewood/Dwight, contact Tracy Claxton at (203) 946-2857 or TClaxton@newhavenct.net.

Then, contact your alderman to put pressure on the city to make this issue a priority for the police. The Edgewood ward is ward 24: call Evette Hamilton at (203) 508-5426 orWard24@newhavenct.net.

If you know where dirt bikes, quads and ATVs are garaged, report it to the New Haven Police Criminal Intel Unit. The officer in charge is:

Sergeant Karl Jacobson
New Haven Police Department
Criminal Intel Unit/Narcotics
One Union Ave, New Haven CT
phone: (203) 946-6098
Fax: (203) 946-6293
e-mail: kjacobson@newhavenct.net

He will respond to emails and calls. If you report a known ATV or dirt bike location to him, he will investigate and confiscate the machines.

SeeClickFix New Haven Nation, time to make some noise of our own. Spring has sprung and again dirtbikes are flying up and streets, through parks, and on sidewalks, terrorizing the city.

On April 28 (Thursday), give the mayor’s office (203 946-8200) to let her know that it’s time to track down the bikes and confiscate!! More calls equals more action and fewer dirtbikes on the streets!!

SCF Nation, call it in to the Mayor's Office tomorrow (4/28/16): 203 946 8200. Just tell whoever picks up the phone that you have a message for city hall: let's get the bikes off the streets!

Thank you for your support in improving Clinton Ave Park. We are closing old reports of Illegal Dirt Biking and Illegal use of ATVs. If you notice any new activity please open new issues with any details you can give about the vehicle or clothing or which direction they were coming or going. Parks will have a part time "permit enforcement" staff out this summer and will use these reports to guide our scheduling.

Your new district manager also does a terrific job of monitoring new reports to SCF, but its difficult to find the old ones!

Thanks for fixing this issue!
