The RCTSI is a program that is managed under the Minnesota <br />Office of Traffic Safety, formerly called the Safe & Sober Program, but has been designated <br />the Toward Zero Death (TZD) Enforcement. <br /> <br />July’s Seven Days of Speed resulted in: 56 total citations with 47 for speeding. <br />Labor Day DWI Enforcement: 2 DWI’s and 2 Driving after Revocation (DAR) Violations <br /> 6 RCTSI saturation events resulted in our officers effecting 5 DWI arrests. <br /> <br />The project is administered by Sgt Nelson, who coordinates the organization, scheduling and <br />tracking of all the statistics and submits this data to Ramsey County. Sergeant Zender and <br />Officer Neumann were the top producers for Mounds View in traffic arrests and citations <br />during this past year for the RCTSI project! <br /> <br />September 30, 2011 is the end of the fiscal year for these grants. We have been approved for <br />next year’s grant which will begin October 1, 2011. The total grant award in Ramsey County <br />is $567,337.39, with the City of Mounds View receiving $37,804.56. These funds will pay for <br />overtime expenses for the officers working these special enforcement events and saturations. <br />We look forward to another successful year in keeping the roads safe!
