The City of Rock Springs is exploring the implementation of radar speed signs that alert motorists of their speed that can be used in neighborhoods, school zones, work zones, parks, daycare areas, churches, or anywhere traffic tends to exceed a safe rate of speed, enhancing traffic safety. The City of Green River will add tactical body armor to this unit. FY15 JAG funds will be used to help both the City of Rock Springs and the City of Green River accomplish their goals.
