EXTRA PATROL
Feb. 9
9:17 a.m., Auburn Road, Auburn. Request for extra patrol due to increase in dump truck traffic and the fact that the road is narrow. We have school kids out standing for buses. Also they are parking on the hill on Crackel Road waiting to get loaded and you cannot see to get out. The complainant did speak to the owner of the quarry. The owner did put up signs, but he still has concerns for safety.
Feb. 10
1:08 p.m., Georgia Road, Burton. Would like extra patrol when school lets out around 3 p.m. The traffic on Georgia between White and Chipmunk is going way to fast.

NOISE PROBLEM
