S.M.A.R.T. Traffic Radar Trailer
If you are a Plymouth Township
resident, you have probably seen the interesting device that
the police department uses to assist in combating speeding
vehicles and to remind daydreaming drivers to watch their
speed.
The S.M.A.R.T. (Speed Monitoring Awareness Radar Trailer) can
be used in neighborhoods, school zones, constriction sites,
dangerous areas, or any other appropriate location to help
promote compliance with the speed limit. The S.M.A.R.T.
trailer is a portable, self-contained speed display unit that
is towed to the desired location. It is left on the roadway to
displays speeds of oncoming vehicles on a highly visible
(light emitted diode) display. A speed limit sign mounted on
the unit reminds drivers what the actual speed limit is on the
road that they are on. The unit also has the capability to
record the speed data.
If you live in Plymouth Township and feel that you have a
problem with speeding vehicles in your neighborhood , you are
encouraged to contact the Plymouth Township Police Departments
Sgt. Rapson and request the S.M.A.R.T. trailer
be scheduled in you area.
Internet Safety
As we all know, the challenges wee face today are very
different from those we faced a decade ago. In ten years,
those challenges will be different still. Today, the Internet
is part of everybody’s vocabulary. It has become an invaluable
resource on which all of us relay to educate, entertain,
conduct business, and more. But with the convenience of the
Internet, there are new dangers. One of those dangers is the
pervasiveness of sexual predators that would use the Internet
to prey on our kids. That’s why the Plymouth Township Police
Department and Security Software Systems would like to help
educate parents on how to protect their kids from this threat.
Goals:
1. To inform parents and guardians of the hidden dangers of
the Internet.
2. To assist parents and guardians in monitoring the Internet
activities of
their children.
3. To instruct parents and guardians the tools they need to
make the
Internet safe for their kids.

Escape School
Robert Stuber wrote “Missing! Stranger Abduction,” and from
that, he created the Escape School program. This program
offers smart strategies to keep your child safe and to help
parents teach their children to prevent and evade a dangerous
situation. Escape school is a wonderful way to teach children
how to recognize potentially dangerous people and situations
and how to escape when they find themselves in places they
should not be.
The Plymouth Township Police Department has received training
in this program so that a Police Officer can provide parents
with concrete, hands-on advice on how children of all ages,
from youngsters to teenagers, can get themselves out of
dangerous situations.
Bicycle Rodeo
This event provides an opportunity for bicyclists to
measure their own capabilities and increase their awareness of
bicycle laws and the importance of defensive cycling. All
participants are required to wear their approved bicycle
safety helmets during the skill test. Bicyclist can positively
impact safety education by participating in a bike rodeo,
which are conducted using accident-based materials. The term
“accident- based” refers to teaching skills required to avoid
the most common types of bicycle crashes. Road test will
include: balancing and alignment, circling and changing
direction, weaving and maneuvering, stopping ability, and slow
speed control.
