Medicine Hat News reports that the city chief endorses expanding photo radar to enforce traffic laws. The proposal aims to curb speeding and improve road safety, with potential deployment across key intersections pending council approval.
Police Chief Bill Spring urged the Hat police commission to adopt photo radar aiming at 1000 speeding tickets weekly, projecting $568,624 yearly. He framed it as a budget fix, while some commissioners warned of community backlash and explored alternative revenue options.
The plan proposes pre approval drop for long distance calls, inspector role shifts, cheaper cellular service, and use of volunteers to curb costs. It also suggests photo radar revenue, reduced overtime, unused leave payments, and higher business licence fees to fund street patrols amid cuts. Police associations call the plan a band aid and warn of staffing deficits on the streets.
