Police officials announced that after conferring with residents and compiling a list of problem areas, beginning on Friday, extra patrols would be posted in those areas during certain time frames.

“If you’re driving responsibly and you see us, give us a wave,” the department posted on Facebook announcing the program. “If you’re not driving responsibly, you’ll be having a more face-to-face conversation with us.”
