THE PRESCOTT POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS MONEY TO CONDUCT MORE SPEED AND D-U-I ENFORCEMENT PATROLS. THE DEPARTMENT RECENTLY RECEIVED $137,000 IN GRANT MONEY FROM THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY. THANKS TO THIS MONEY, PRESCOTT POLICE WILL BE ABLE TO CONDUCT AT LEAST ONE DUI ENHANCEMENT PATROL A MONTH THROUGH SEPTEMBER OF NEXT YEAR. 

OFFICERS WILL ALSO CONDUCT EIGHT SPEED AND AGGRESSIVE DRIVING PATROLS IN KNOWN PROBLEM AREAS OF PRESCOTT. THERE IS ALSO ENOUGH MONEY IN THE GRANT FOR THE DEPARTMENT TO PURCHASE NEW EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING AN EVENT DATA RECORDER TO DOWNLOAD DATA FROM VEHICLES INVOLVED IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. PORTABLE BREATH TESTING EQUIPMENT AND A NEW DIGITAL SPEED SIGN WILL ALSO BE PURCHASED BY THE PRESCOTT POLICE DEPARTMENT WITH THIS GRANT MONEY.
