Officer Fernando Cruz with the Diamond Beach Police Dept. (DBPD) Seen here issuing a citation to a driver of a grey Super GT for speeding - Going 43 MPH (~70 KM/H) in a posted 30 MPH (~50 KM/H). Early mornings when there's no one around doesn't mean you have the right to exceed the posted speed limit.

Awaiting callout

A Silverlake Motorist made a complaint to Silverlake Police after they witnessed a silver sedan driving erratically and speeding through traffic. Officers from Silverlake Central District caught up to the driver just before they crossed into Silverlake East District.

The motorist was charged with speeding, reckless driving, and distracted driving.

It was determined that the motorist was going to be late for a flight, and the motorist became aggravated with police during the stop. The motorist missed his flight due to the stop.

Officers from Silverlake Police remind motorists that there is not an excuse for speeding, even if you're late for a flight, and speeding will not get you there any faster, especially when you're caught.

Just a sneak peak at the next pack I'm working on, Hartford Police Department, Hartford, CT both old and new designs. Old design for CVPI and Tahoe, and new black&white design for CVPI (including stealth versions), Tahoe (including stealth), Impala, and Caprice PPV. All skins in the pack will have a Liberty variant as well.

An Officer of the Silverlake Police Department dips his hat in remorse while standing at his traffic control post at a fatal Motor Vehicle Collision that occurred just behind him.

A Silverlake Police vehicle was involved in a T-Bone collision, after a vehicle ran a red light, and slammed into the drivers side of the police vehicle at a high rate of speed. The driver of the other vehicle fled the scene on foot, and a search is now underway for the driver of that vehicle.

Unfortunately despite the best efforts of the Fire and EMS personnel on scene, the officer in the police vehicle involved, who has yet to be named, passed away on the scene.

This incident is just one of two tragic incidents that happened in Silverlake today, as just earlier this morning, a suspect was shot and killed by police during a pursuit. Police do not believe these two incidents are connected, and do believe speed and alcohol were a factor in the collision.
