A joint operation between the 104th and 108th precinct is aimed at cutting down on drag racing and making the streets safer for motorists and pedestrians.
Last Friday, May 15, at 3 p.m., the commanding and executive officers from the 104 Precinct and 108 Precinct conducted the operations in regards to numerous complaints from the community regarding the racing.
A vehicle was placed, in plain view, with flashing lights at the McDonald’s (56-60 55th Road) to send a clear message to motorists that drag racing in the vicinity of the precincts will not be tolerated. In addition, traffic officer were deployed to the hazardous locations to be on the lookout for racing activity.
Members of the community are reminded to call 911 for emergencies and 311 for non-emergencies so that these incidents are appropriately documented and dispatched to members of the service on patrol.
Please note both Precincts are also aware of additional locations in and around both Precincts where these drag racers may frequent. Those locations will also be met with enforcement.
