Good job getting the number from the car,usually they are going so fast all you see is the whites of their eyes

wow! without even turning on the lightbar for no reason. This is going to set a new low.

I see this very thing happen on a frequent basis.

This is why so many drivers in New Haven have no respect for traffic signals. Lead by example.

Also, there is a Statute that requires an emergency vehicle to use their lights and/or siren before going through a light. The Police need to react as required, but are at a minimum, required to flash overhead lights while going through the intersection and a quick horn blast wouldn't hurt.

Issue from 2011. I have followed up on more recent reports to SCF of city vehicles violating traffic laws, and please report any such instances you see with as much identifying information as possible. Please report as either "traffic/road safety" category, or "policing issue" if it is a police vehicle to ensure it comes to the proper person's attention promptly.

This is a very serious issue that has NOT been addressed by anyone . We need to have this , and others , as a reminder to the good residents of New Haven , and more so to the new arrivals , that in spite of the Market New Haven Brochure you received , It's not that safe at all , you have to be mindful of your surroundings , and even when crossing the street , regardless of what the street light says or that deceptive flashing Walk sign,you still need to be on awares.
P.S. I don't believe this Bob Smuts Yale School of Management '99 should be given any authority to close any case

It is a serious issue. It was reported in 2011, when City officials such as myself used a feature of SCF that the City pays for to follow issues reported in different categories (including the catch-all "other"). At the time, it was still possible to report an issue not in a category - such as this one - which did not show up in the dashboard feature that we use. That has since been corrected, but it meant that this issue did not come to my attention in a timely manner.

I can promise you that if a similar issue is reported now, I will see that appropriate action is taken by the department head (Chief, in this case). Unsafe and illegal driving by city employees is a serious issue that will be dealt with as such.

Leaving an issue that happened in 2011 open, however, undermines the effectiveness of SeeClickFix to address and track the performance of people like me in responding to them. If unsafe driving by police officers is still an issue - report it as you see it. I won't close the new issues until I have a report on my desk describing what action was taken by the Chief or Assistant Chief on that issue.

- Rob Smuts, Chief Administrative Officer, City of New Haven (and never an SOM student - it would be funny if there had been another Robert Smuts in town)

Thank you for the explanation, Rob.
