“Sneaky” Traffic Monitor Program
On Base to Catch Sneaky Drivers
NAVAL STATION, Kodiak —
The traffic monitor program pro
mulgated by this command went
into effect Nov. 25. Some people
will call this program “sneaky”
and .they will probably be right.
As the old saying goes: “It takes
one to know one.” In this case, it
will be: “It takes one to catch
one.”
In the traffic enforcement pro
gram, the biggest offender is the
“sneaky” driver who will speed
along keeping one eye out for the
marked police patrol vehicle, and
immediately slow down when he
sees one.
Now that type of offender is go
ing to be in for a big surprise when
he receives a ticket for speeding,
having never been stopped by a
marked police vehicle. He will nev
er even know that he has been
followed and clocked by a “traffic
monitor” driving his own private
vehicle. This “traffic monitor” who
observes a speeder will, after
■
clocking the offender, simply fill
out a traffic monitor memorandum
report and forward it to the secur
ity officer who will see that a
traffic ticket is written for the of
fense and a copy delivered to the
offender.
The traffic monitor’s memoran
dum report will be attached to the
copy of the traffic ticket that is
forwarded to the offender’s com
manding officer, if he be a mili
tary personnel, or to the traffic
court administrator, if he be a ci
vilian, for administrative or disci
plinary action. This action may
result in the awarding of traffic
violation points, loss of decal, or
suspension of driving privileges on
board the Naval Reservation for a
period of six months or permanent
suspension for repeated violators.
The “traffic monitors” are a very
select group. They are outstand
ing officers and chief petty officers
who have been specially selected
by the commanding officers of the
