A message from a Lakewood Police Officer

  1. I was at on Route 9 this morning trying to make a left on to Oak and a lady called over the officer to ask a question – instead of pulling over to ask she sat and had a conversation while the rest of us were waiting!! Is this normal???? something must be done about the traffic!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. I was passing when the officer was talking to the lady and he was telling her to get off the phone. Traffic has been a lot better with the officers directing traffic. They are very brave to be standing in the middle of route 9. Great job LPD!!!!!

  3. I always gesture thanking the officer (similar to the way you put your hand up thanking someone for letting you turn in front of them) ….

    I suppose I shouldn’t….:/

  4. Each morning on the way to work, I pass this officer at the corner of 9 and Oak.

    Each morning I marvel at the difficulty of doing this dangerous job.

    Best wishes to you, and thanks!

  5. I wish drivers would stop when people are at a crosswalk waiting to cross the street. Many times there are children or large families trying to get across and cars don’t stop for a second. Maybe many don’t realize it is the LAW to stop. Other towns have signs. It is dangerous. I have stopped to let people cross the street and drivers going the other way don’t or others beep their horns. Rude.
