with a total request of $300,000, each described below:
Speed and Aggressive Driving

heavy volume of pedestrian traffic. The Police Department is looking to reduce traffic
fatalities and injuries by implementing enforcement campaigns targeting speed and
aggressive driving infractions. The City's Police Department will utilize resources to
conduct high -visibility, zero -tolerance enforcement operations at locations identified as
"High Risk Areas" which have a high frequency of traffic crashes and/or fatalities to

officers to operate mobile checkpoints as well as have impaired motorist booking
areas, testing equipment and more. Grant funding will help the Police Department
