ReplyDeleteway to go Menifee police......keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteThose numbers are scary! What is wrong with people? Also, why don't the slow down on the 215 where it is now 55 mph in the work zone. I put on my emergency flashers just so no one will run me down in order to drive the speed limit!
ReplyDeleteThank you Police Department for doing this! I can't believe the numbers, they are scary! Please do this more often. Call me, I'll bring you coffee.......
ReplyDeleteThis is great news. I would love to see more checkpoints. I realize it takes a lot of manpower to have these checkpoints but look at how much good it does.
