Coal City Police Chief Tom Best posed a rather simple question to the Coal City Village Board, “what does everyone do when they see a police officer?”
The answer: Apply brakes, drive right and do the right things behind the wheel.
Best knows first hand the sight of a police cruiser has the ability to slow down traffic, ensure motorists utilize the turn signal and put down the cellular phone.
“And, it’s not necessarily a police officer, but a squad car. If someone is in a squad car or not people are going to slow down,” the chief said.
