    Springfield police put plan in gear to drive down neighborhood crime by rigorous enforcement of traffic laws

    Springfield Mayor Domenic J. Sarno, gestures to make a point about fighting crime as Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet and City Councilor Thomas Ashe look on.

    This is an update of a story that was first posted Wednesday at 4:08 p.m.
    SPRINGFIELD - City officials plan to go after crime in city neighborhoods by deploying police details specifically to enforce traffic laws in those same neighborhoods.
    Springfield Police Commissioner William J. Fitchett and Mayor Domenic J. Sarno on Wednesday announced the city would begin the new deployments, called Data Driven Approach to Crime and Traffic Safety or DDACTS, on a three-month trial basis.
    They said it was in the works prior to this weekend’s spasm of violence that saw one man dead and other critically in a shooting at a State Street barbershop, and two police officers shot in a shootout with the suspect moments later at Cambridge and Burr streets. The officers were spared serious injuries only by their protective vests, but the suspect, Tamik Kirkland, an escapee from a minimum security prison, was shot multiple times and remains hospitalized.
    Sarno said the shootings demonstrates the city needs to be proactive and innovative in curbing violence.

    Though the press conference was not related to Saturday, Sarno used the time to deliver some charged words to the city’s criminal element, who he compared to “marauders,” as well as at those who aid them or provide shelter.
    “We are not going to tolerate these gang bangers who want to terrorize hot spot areas in the city of Springfield,” he said. “We are going to hit and hit hard.”
    Fitchet said the DDACTS is funded by a $147,000 grant of federal stimulus money and will pay for officers to work overtime details for three months.
    Uniformed officers will be deployed specifically to address traffic violations, such as speeding, running red lights, and reckless driving, he said.
    Fitchet said the tactic is a relatively new approach to policing that has only been employed in a few locations nationwide, most recently in Fitchburg, but it is based on 20 years of national crime research.

    AKA

    Speeding tickets will now finance half of the force's budget.

    Looks like someone's trying to make up a budget shortfall.

    Cops talking about doing what they should be doing already...

    "Uniformed officers will be deployed specifically to address traffic violations, such as speeding, running red lights, and reckless driving,"

    So, they weren't already addressing traffic violations?

    "Fitchet said the tactic is a relatively new approach to policing that has only been employed in a few locations nationwide,
    most recently in Fitchburg, but it is based on 20 years of national crime research."


    niggers = crime, have they figured it out after 20 years?

    But that presumes they're more interested in fighting crime than raising revenue. Nigger criminals cost the city money to chase, prosecute, house and feed, while honest people will pay what it takes to stay out of jail and have the means to pay it.

    Did Springfield citizens recently vote to remove traffic cameras perchance?

    To the best of my knowledge these types of draconian measures were never utilized in the old Soviet Union or Warsaw Pact Countries. If you had a car (and your papers), you could get around without all this hassle.

    Even today in contemporary Germany there are parts of the Autobahn with no speed limit.

    Does ZOG really think we don't realize how tyrannical things are getting
