By Bill WilsonThe Anniston Star, Ala.HEFLIN, Ala. — A new tool coming to the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office will do more than flash a driver’s speed back at them.
That information can help deputies identify problem areas, evaluate citizen complaints, determine where traffic enforcement may be needed most and measure the effectiveness of traffic safety initiatives.
The system does not collect personal information, take photographs or capture license plate numbers, according to the sheriff’s office.
Instead, the data will provide deputies with a broader picture of traffic conditions in areas where residents have raised concerns or where speeding may pose a safety risk.
The grant is being provided through ATS Traffic Solutions’ ATS Gives Back Grant Program, which supports law enforcement agencies and other organizations working to improve roadway safety.
