CITY INVESTS IN SPEED ENFORCEMENT TOOLS Inside this Issue:
The wheels are in motion for innovative technology that will help our Police Department boost public safety. Our City Council recently approved a $600,000 investment to outfit all 150 Police Department patrol vehicles with state-of-the-art moving radar systems. Glendale will be one of the first cities in the Valley to equip all police department vehicles with this kind of speed detection technology. The moving radar systems, which will be mounted to the front and rear of the vehicles, will allow our officers to measure cars’ speed regardless of the vehicles’ position relative to the officers’ location. Speed-related collisions involving pedestrians have already exceeded the totals from the past two years, with more than half of 2025 remaining. Serious injuries from speed-related crashes have steadily declined, with more than 100 incidents reported in 2023 and 2024 combined. In 2023, Glendale was among the cities in Maricopa County with the highest traffic fatalities, reporting more than 40 deaths. The rollout of this radar system is expected to be done by the end of this summer. Our forward-thinking city is already generating much media attention for the radar systems. Check out the stories about them below.
