Today’s Good News
Kudos to Officer Heather Truong who was named Third Precinct’s Officer of the Month for October! Maybe the two times bicyclists collided into the side of her police car were a call to action. After Officer Truong shook off the disbelief that it could happen not once – but twice – she launched a bicycle operation safety initiative. She joined forces with the Sector 313 bicycle unit to roll out the project – aimed to educate cyclists who were riding the wrong way on streets, riding without headlights and those who failed to obey simple traffic laws. Truong’s strategy was not to write summonses – although that did occur – but her goal was to discuss safe bicycle operation, distribute safety flyers, illustrate the importance of properly securing the bikes, and to record serial numbers.
Truong also focused on noise complaints this past month – visiting 17 businesses in a pro-active attempt to find satisfactory solutions. Thank you Officer Truong!
