Noise Complaint.............. 4 Subpeona Service........... 1 Community Assist............ 1 Traffic................................ 5 Warning citations to decrease The Vernonia Police Depart ment delayed citation program has been successful in obtain ing compliance and public edu cation for drivers who are fail ing to wear seat belts or commit minor traffic violations, accord ing to Chief Mike Cahill. Beginning June 1, issuance of delayed citations will be come less frequent and more actual citations, requiring an appearance in court, will be come the norm. Chief Cahill re ported that any good education program must also include ac tual enforcement. “We have been issuing a good number of warnings and the word is out that we are stopping people who fail to obey the state law." This was fair, since there had been a significant drop in compliance with the state law, according to Cahill. ‘‘After six weeks of warnings, it is time to start the enforce ment aspect of the law,” Cahill said. He also noted that among the comments he has heard from motorists to justify their behavior is that “this is Vernon ia.” Chief Cahill says that his of ficers have had to remind them that state laws apply here, as well.
