Officer William Jacobson <br />The Centennial Lakes Police Department proactively enforces speed limits <br />within the cities of Circle Pines, Lexington, and Centerville. Officers issued <br />404 citations for speeding in 2009. Officers also issued 2,043 verbal and <br />written warnings for moving violations in 2009. This total includes, but is <br />not limited to, speed warnings. <br />Officers enforce -speed both rando _and in response 0— specific citizen <br />complaints. Officers enformce speed to reduce injuries and property damage <br />related to driving at unsafe speeds. <br />The department's radar fleet consists of seven Stalker <br />direction sensing radars. The department also uses two <br />hand -held lasers for speed detection. No radars or <br />lasers were purchased in 2009 and repair costs for the <br />Stalker radar fleet were minimal. All of the older <br />Eagle brand radars are currently out of calibration and <br />have been retired. <br />The unmarked traffic enforcement squad was put out of service in 2009 and <br />was replaced with a marked squad. This squad does not have a radar or <br />ticket printer and cannot currently be used as a speed enforcement tool. It is <br />being discussed how we will equip this squad with the proper tools for <br />effective speed enforcement in 2010. <br />48 <br />67 <br />
