Deputy summarizes LIDAR, trailers and coverage; says new rotation places deputy in Depoe Bay
Summary
A deputy reported on shift rotations and enforcement tools: a mobile LIDAR unit (handheld), speed trailers, and a north-district presence in Depoe Bay; deputies can check out LIDAR and log it at day's end, staff said.
A law-enforcement deputy (speaker 6) updated the council about coverage and enforcement tools. He said the department recently changed shift rotations and that Deputy Aaron Brooks spends substantial time based in Depoe Bay. The deputy described the agency's handheld LIDAR device and explained how it differs from radar; LIDAR gives direct point readings and can be more precise when aimed at a vehicle.
"The LIDAR is a completely separate unit. The LIDAR is a handheld device that shoots a beam out like this, versus radar, which is shooting a beam out like this," the deputy explained, describing the equipment and checkout procedures. The council thanked the deputy and asked staff to coordinate trailer placement and speed-enforcement schedules.
