Lt. Devin West got a little help with traffic enforcement from a group of seniors who gathered outside the Exeter Senior Citizens Center today and learned how to use a hand-held lidar speed detection device. They were aiming to slow drivers down and it seemed to work.

When Ofc. Garcia encountered kids riding bikes without helmets today, he returned to the PD, threw some helmets in his cruiser, and headed back to the neighborhood to hand them out. “As soon as they saw me come by, they all came running. It was like I was Santa Claus,” he said.
