Speed Watch Program
Prince George Community Policing would like to encourage all Parent Advisory Councils in School District 57 to become actively involved in SPEED WATCH.
SPEED WATCH is an educational program aimed at reducing incidents of speeding. It is designed to raise public awareness of the actual speeds drivers are traveling. The Speed Watch program is conducted in partnership with ICBC, the RCMP, RCMP Auxiliary members, Community Policing and volunteers.
SPEED WATCH checks are operated by trained Auxiliary members and volunteers. Using portable radar equipment and an electronic digital board, volunteers monitor speeds. Drivers get an instant readout of their speed, displayed on a readerboard as they pass by. Warning letters are sent to individuals who were recorded traveling at an excessive speed.
SPEED WATCH helps address traffic and speeding problems through:
-
Public and community awareness
-
Neighborhood action
-
Gathering speed-related data
-
Police awareness
SPEED WATCH training takes approximately one hour and you will be requested to complete a criminal record check.
Arranging to set up SPEED WATCH in your school zone, on an occasional basis, will not take much of your time.
For more information on SPEED WATCH please contact me at 561-3319.
Sincerely,
Linda Parker
