Board of County Commissioners <br />January 25, 1980 <br />Page two <br />for the units if purchased by the County. Additionally, the State <br />has stipulated that the units will only be assigned to troopers in <br />Indian River County, Florida. <br />I feel that all of the above information will show that <br />the troopers assigned to our County are extremely interested in <br />effective enforcement of the speed limits set by the legislature. <br />It is obvious from the statistics that as our County grows, additional <br />enforcement will be necessary and it would be appropriate for our <br />County to assist the troopers assigned to us in obtaining necessary <br />equipment in which to protect us all. <br />Enclosed for your information is a copy of the general <br />specifications of the model K-55 moving radar units. It is interesting <br />to note that these units have "anti -detector circuits" which will <br />permit the troopers to negate the effectiveness of "Fuzz -Buster" <br />units commonly in use at this time. If you have any further questions, <br />please be kind enough to notify me and I will supply any requested <br />information. <br />NAG/sec <br />Enclosures <br />Very ttrruull . yours, <br />NORMAN A.
