The Santa Cruz
Police Department now has a Radar Speed Trailer. Deputy Chief Steve Clark leveraged his
friendships at a Marin County police agency that was selling the trailer and
worked an amazing deal. Other than a few
minor mechanical repairs the trailer was in like-new condition. Steve drove to Marin picked the trailer up
and completed the repairs in his garage, ultimately saving the city about $12,000
over the purchase of a new trailer.
This mobile unit can be transported to various locations in
the city. Along with enforcement, the trailer will be a big part of our program to increase driver awareness and reduce
speeds. The Traffic Unit will be
responsible for deploying the trailer and developing a schedule. Priority will be given to locations that have
been the most dangerous or problematic.
