*2/4/03- CHC Drivers Clocked*
Today, the MPIC held it's first RADAR survey at Calvert Hall. Inspired by S.A.D.D.'s (Students Against Destructive Decisions) seatbelt surveys, this survey used two RADAR guns to clock students and parents leaving school grounds. Two traps were set up. One on Putty Hill Ave. and on LaSalle Road, a road notorious for cars with excessive speed. A total of 9 MPIC members helped out in recording the stats, shooting the RADAR gun, and radioing cars that were leaving the CHC campus. Of the 106 cars that were clocked on Putty Hill Ave, 27 were caught traveling at least 10 mph over the posted 30 mph speed limit. On LaSalle Road, 40 our of 72 vehicles were speeding-that's an amazing 55.6%! The MPIC plans to have at least two more of these surveys before the school year comes to a close.
*1/10/03- LED Dates Set*
Law Enforcement Day 2003 has an official date. Saturday April 5th will be the initial date and Saturday April 12th (the following week) is scheduled as a rain-date. A rain-date seemed almost a must considering our luck with the weather. All agencies have been contacted and we are currently awaiting approvals and confirmations. Please check out LED 2003's official site. More updates to come!
*1/9/03- New Site Completed*
Version 2.0 of the MPIC's website has finally been completed and uploaded.
