The
Village of Clinton and the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office have entered into a
partnership to increase safety and law enforcement.
The Kirkland Police Department will still work on the Village’s behalf.
We are grateful for their past and continued presence and support.
The
Sheriff’s Office will focus on all law enforcement areas particularly the issue
of speeding within the Village. The speed limit is 30 mph in most of the
Village and 15-20 mph around the school. Traffic studies would indicate those
speed limits are not being followed.
Please take note, it is our hope that will not be the case in the
future.
The
Village is not doing it for the fines!
All the speeding fines go directly to Oneida County, the Village sees no
fiscal benefit -- only safer streets.
In
addition to monitoring the speed, parking, other road violations and general
law enforcement will be addressed.
The
Village Board of Trustees have worked diligently toward this agreement with
Oneida County and believe this partnership will be beneficial for all. We
welcome the Sherriff’s presence within the Village and look forward to a
cooperative relationship for many years.
