- He didn’t come to a complete stop! Fire!
Greenwich Police Chief Davd Ridberg announced that his troopers had doubled the number of red-light violation citations last month, 77, up from 44. “It’s training that does it,” Ridberg crowed at a news conference held to publicize this stunning achievement. “Training – that’s the ticket.” So far, Greenwich’s “Rolling Thunder” campaign has focused on drivers using cellphones in May, seatbelt enforcement in May and red lights in June.
“Yes”, Ridberg acknowledged,” this kind of training runs us way up in overtime pay, but if it saves the life of just one fender, I think the citizens will agree that it’s all worth it.” Asked about the FBI crime report for Greenwich, still unreleased a year after its preparation, Ridberg was forthright: “How ’bout them Yankees, eh?”
So what do we have to look forward to this July? “Pooper scoopers,” Ridberg vowed. “We are so all over that.”

July is Stop Sign Month.
It was going to be, Bill, but that’s been delayed while the boys go up to the academy for shape and color recognition retraining. For some of them, it’s been a long time since they attended kindergarten.
What the public would really like for the millions we spent on a new police station here in Greenwich are uniformed policemen back on the Avenue at all the intersections to direct traffic.
Are those cops standing on segways?
Yup. Nothing’s too good for Greenwich but alas, the picture shows Chinese cops.
Here’s a Brit pol you could take a hankerin’ to, Chris.
