The Highland Police Department will once again be
stepping up summer patrols by implementing two initiatives designed at
providing a greater police presence in neighborhoods, parks and along
the bike trails.
Assigned Officers will spend their entire shift conducting neighborhood
patrols and spending time speaking with residents regarding Quality of
Life issues such as: 1) vehicles committing traffic infractions; 2) loud
stereos, etc.; 3) junk vehicles; 4) reciprocity violations, etc.
Officers will try to solve the problem at this time and/or forward
information to the appropriate division for follow-up. Data will be
collected regarding specific traffic concerns and follow-up will be
conducted to correct poor driving habits at these locations. Officers
are encouraged to get out and “shoot some hoops” with kids at the park
and even stop by and enjoy a lemonade at a neighborhood lemonade stand.
Assigned Officers will also be regularly visiting town parks and the
bike trail as they patrol by both bicycle and motorcycle. Stopping by a
ball game is encouraged in an effort to introduce themselves to our
residents.
These two programs will begin June 1st and continue throughout the
summer.
