WPD Cracking Down on Speed

AJ:

Last week, Police Chief Bill Baker sent a letter to the City Council and the
mayor asking for their support of the police department’s ramped up effort to
crack down on speeders. Baker included data collected by a radar detector called
a SpeedSpy, which the department places in different areas of the city for
24-hour periods to determine where speeding issues are worst. On East Bridge
Street, Baker said, the detector clocked 97 percent of cars going over the speed
limit.
