The Marietta Police Department announced its new initiative titled “Slow Down Marietta” in a proactive effort to keep the roads in Marietta safe for the driving public.

The Marietta Police Department announced its new initiative titled “Slow Down Marietta” in a proactive effort to keep the roads in Marietta safe for the driving public. 

Two months in the making, the program has a dual concept of education and enforcement. This initiative is designed to remind drivers to slow down, wear a seatbelt and obey traffic laws. 

The first week of the campaign is formatted to be the educational promotion of safe driving in Marietta. Message boards, speed trailers and the “Cop Cab” will be placed all over the city to remind and educate drivers on the importance of slowing down and obeying traffic laws. 

The initiative then jumps into the enforcement arm where officers will actively enforce traffic laws within Marietta.

Good grief, if the rifle can kill someone, why on earth would you give it to a five-year-old? ThisRead More one just boggles my mind. I hope that even the NRA has a problem with this.

This is a fine example of freedom being too much to handle for some folks. The idiots who gave theRead More kid the gun should be jailed. Its obvious that a 5 year old should neither posses, nor handle a firearm period. Having said that I am a full supporter of the Second Amendment and the NRA. However we cannot measure the validity of the right to bear arms by using these idiot parents as a case study.
