Sheriff says department received grant for speed enforcement
Summary
The Surry County sheriff reported the department received a grant to support speed enforcement; board members said they had asked law enforcement to increase patrols on secondary roads including White Marsh Road and Bacon's Castle area.
The sheriff told the board the department received a grant to support speed-enforcement efforts. "How we, how we, D and B, and it's gonna be, for us for speed enforcement," the sheriff said, signaling a new funding source for traffic enforcement in targeted areas.
Board members noted recent requests for patrols along White Marsh Road, Claremont and Route 40 and thanked deputies for increased presence in the Bacon Castle area. County leaders said enforcement is one part of speed management and that engineering changes and education are also needed; no specific deployment schedule was announced at the meeting.
