Last night, members of our Traffic Enforcement Unit stayed busy addressing dangerous driving behaviors in the city. Pictured here: They stopped a motorcycle driving 85 mph in a 35 mph zone and racing another vehicle. That driver was cited for engaging in a speed contest, reckless driving, and speeding 40+ mph over the limit. Later in the evening, they stopped a vehicle for driving 81 mph in a 40 mph zone. That driver was cited for speeding 40+ mph over the limit and reckless driving. These types of driving behaviors and excessive speeds put everyone at risk on the road.

We have found Linda and she is safe. Thank you!

📷 Found: One suspiciously cute suspect 📷 This girl was located inside our parking lot this morning—no badge, no credentials, just a happy girl who wanted to greet our patrol officers at their shift briefing. She’s safe, very friendly, and currently refusing to answer any questions without snacks. NOCO Humane is on the way to pick her up, but if this is your dog, give them a call to get her home (970) 226-3647.
