Brookfield Police Chief John Puglisi provided a requested update to the Board of Selectmen this week about speeding in town.  He notes that automated speed enforcement signs help pinpoint speeders and ticketing them, but complaints they continue to receive complaints from residents that people are driving too fast on local roads.  The Brookfield Police Department has used grants from the state Department of Transportation to fund cell phone enforcement and measures to enforce against drunken driving, but he notes that there is no state funding available to help enforce speed limits.  The department uses automated speed enforcement signs to help guide when and where officers are deployed to issue tickets.  The speed signs capture the number of vehicles, the speeds, and the times.  That data is used to schedule officers in selective enforcement.  He also summarized efforts to operate efficiently despite a staffing shortage.  In this current environment, Puglisi says they are having a hard time hiring officers to replace the officers who have retired so they are forced to do more with less.
