Royal Cayman Islands Police Traffic Calming Efforts Aided By U.S. Company
Decatur, IL –The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service is taking new steps to combat speeding. The Police Service recently bought an OnSite 350 radar speed trailer from Decatur Electronics of Illinois intending to curtail speeding on the islands.
“This is excellent progress in our war against excessive speed,” said Chief Superintendent John Jones, RCIPS Head of Operations. “Far too many people are dying and we need to do something about it.”
The trailer is part of Decatur’s new OnSite line of speed trailers, which range in size from dolly-sized 100s and 200s to the large OnSite 400, which features two banks of solar panels and batteries as well as a full-matrix message sign.
The OnSite 350 purchased by the RCIPS features a solar panel extending battery life considerably and an 18 inch LED display, visible for up to 1000 feet, as well as an EZ Stat data package allowing the unit to track traffic patterns and speeds.
“We’re really pleased about this partnership,” said Greg Roberts, National Sales Manager for Decatur Electronics. “I think the 350 fits perfectly with the Cayman Police’s goals to slow drivers down. We’re glad we can be a part of that.”
Decatur Electronics has been making traffic radar for over 50 years, having created the first radar for law enforcement in 1955. In addition to the OnSite line of trailers, they also produce the Genesis line of radar which revolutionized the industry with regard to unit size with the Genesis I and affordability with the Genesis Handheld. Their Gemini Plus Digital, an in-car video system for law enforcement featuring the highest digital recording quality in the industry was released this year as well.
