I'm glad to see this is in place, but we need to keep this issue alive on SCF as well. Calling the NHPD with detailed reports will help, but I encourage everyone to dupicate those calls by posting them to SCF, too. This way, everyone has the information and we all remain informed as to what is going on in our neighborhoods and city.

As a matte rof fact they did. Officers Anastasio and Zona said the SeeClickFixes for their areas go right to their cell phones. They said positing photos, with descriptive info (color, location, time, date) would be very helpful if they were also close to real time. But they could also keep a look out for these vehicles and and may be able to identify some of the drivers.

Sick and tired of the unregistered, uninsured, often unlicensed, vroomm-vroomm-vrooomm? Then sign the petition! http://www.change.org/petitions/state-of-connecticut-general-assembly-new-haven-office-of-the-mayor-stop-the-use-of-illegally-operated-vehicles-on-new-haven-streets-and-parks

Thanks @Hill Resident
Highly recommend supporting the change.org petition above: 77 have signed, 23 more needed to reach 100 signatures.

I am closing dirt bike/ATV complaints that pre-date the conclusion of the police undercover operation (see www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/9_arrested_in_dirt_bike_sting/) - including helpful info posts like this one. I do not expect the dirt bike/ATV issue to be completely solved, but it will be helpful to policing efforts to distinguish new reports from those before last month's operation. The operation was not a one-off effort to address this issue, and information reported in new issues is helpful.

Please open up new SCF issues as dirt bike/ATV issues re-occur.
