I have to drive my child to a consolidated bus stop every morning. I feel threatened by the morning commuters -- I go the speed limit, especially through school zones and people are constantly riding my bumper, zooming around me, cutting me off... as if I am the one doing something wrong! I've got a child in the car and would like to get there safely... it's just as bad picking her up and coming down Providence. They are obnoxious and overly-aggressive, yet I see ZERO officers out there looking at speeders or dangerous drivers. I've even written the sheriff's office to see why this is not being enforced... no answer..

This area of the Providence Division has a lot of traffic congestion (vehicle and pedestrian) and has several schools, bus stops and is a school zone.
Since school started on 8/25/2014, this area has become even more congested.
Between 8/29/2014 and 9/5/2014, Providence officers conducted Directed Traffic Enforcement in this area.
During this enforcement period, officers made over 40 traffic stops and issued over 30 citations.
Officers already work directing traffic in this area each morning and afternoon. This also makes the area a little safer.
Going Forward:
Patrol and traffic officers will monitor this area (particularly during school hours.)
Officers directing traffic will be advised to make sure vehicles coming through this area drive with care – by identifying unsafe acts/speeding – and taking enforcement action.
We will encourage citizens to call 911 when and if they see aggressive/unsafe driving.
Conclusion:
Our Directed Traffic Enforcement increased our visibility in this area. We were able to get people to slow down.
We are aware that this is a congested area that citizens use to get to and from school.
We will continue to monitor this area and take enforcement action against anyone that drives unsafely or speeds.
Sincerely,
Captain N. Garnes
Providence Division Commander
