I don't understand why the Common Council passed a "no idling" ordinance since I can't imagine it's ever been enforced. In my travels around our city, I see one idling vehicle or, at schools of course, where they're only our children exposed to the exhaust, long snaking lines of idling vehicles.

This issue was recategorized from Other to Police Department General (Internal/Staff Only) - Filing Purposes Only.

Administration - Human Resources Manager - MC-K assigned this issue to Police Department - Lieutenant - DR

Still waiting for a resonse...

I received an email from SeeClickFix asking whether I wanted to close this issue after 31 days. No, I don't. I await an answer.

Mr. Kristol,
Sorry about the late reaponse. I thought I had reaponded to this inquiry.
There is no internal policy in regards to idiling police cars at construction sites. The police lights will not operate without the engine running. The police cars are at the construction sites to protect the workers, pedestrians, block roadways, etc..
If you would like to speak about this further please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,
Lt. David Richel

Thanks for your explanation, Lt. Richel.

I wonder whether any suppliers offer equipment that does not need the engine to be running all the time.
