Tired of drivers speeding down your street? Here’s how to get increased patrols

  • If you’re concerned about speeding in your neighborhood, contact your district station to ask for increased patrols or speed enforcement.
  • “Those requests are read to officers in that police district during roll call and they are expected to drive through those locations whenever possible throughout their shift,” Pfeiff said. “Our community members know what is going on in their neighborhoods where drivers often speed or miss stop signs or cross walks.”
  • “We just always ask you to be aware of your surroundings and be aware of your speed,” Pfeiff said. “And just keep the safety of others in your mind as you’re driving through the county.”
  • At the May 15 meeting of the District VII Citizens Advisory Council (CAC), a resident thanked Commander Jim Keleti for his quick response to the community's complaint about speeding in a residential area.
  • Call the non-emergency number, 301-352-1200, contact our COPS Officer, Cpl. Rannacher, sdrannacher@co.pg.md.us, 240-507-8110 (cell) or contact Major Keleti, jskeleti@co.pg.md.us, 301-292-5300 (office).
