I Call the Police, Part 2

Tough day. I tried the local precinct again, and was given a number. I called it -- it was Rhonda in the budget office and I was put to voice mail. I didn't leave a message.

Then I called the non-emergency number, and selected the option to talk to an officer. I was directed to a message that said there were no operators standing by.

I'm resorting to e-mail. Here is what I sent:

Hi --

I'm trying to reach an officer in the Seattle Police Traffic Unit, and was hoping you could call me or respond with a phone number that I could call.

I live outside of an elementary school at a 4-way stop, and during school days and weekends (usually when it is a little less busy than rush hour), cars very frequently blow through the stop sign in a very unsafe manner.

Reading the SP Traffic Unit web site, I found that they focus on violations outside of schools, and I was hoping I could detail what I have seen to an officer and see if someone could place an enforcement officer at this intersection in the next month at some point.

There would certainly be a number of traffic violations and hopefully the prescence of an officer would remind drivers to obey the stop sign, especially in front of a school (and bus stop).

Sincerely,
John
