CITY OF PALM SPRINGS w/ Police Chief Andrew Mills re: .
– OPERATION REAR VIEW MIRROR.
1. Because Palm Springs is so dangerous. I.E.In 2022 – 17 fatal traffic accidents. In 2023 – 7; so far this year 5.
The speeds are insane. Police clocked a driver coming into town on 111 @ 154 MPH!!! And the next car was 112 MPH.
A top priority now. #1 Homelessness and #2 Traffic Accidents. Starting OPERATION REAR VIEW MIRROR.
…every time you look in your rear-view mirror BE REMINDED TO SLOW DOWN. Every officer will be writing tickets.
-THREE CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS;
1. DUI.
2. Speed.
3. Running red lights.
– BUZZ STOPS for folks who have been drinking and are buzzed. You can go to a BUZZ STOP, leave your car, NOT get ticketed, take an UBER home and get your car later. DUI tickets are about $20,000 in fines.
WE GET DUI collisions EVERY SINGLE NIGHT.
– CONTROL COLLISIONS BY;
1. Engineering

3. Enforcement
– REPORT ON BICYCLIST TICKETS
