'We need more traffic enforcement': Indianapolis City-County Council VP Zach Adamson wants to see change following a hit-and-run on the east side that left 5-year-old Vinceon Martin hospitalized.
According to Adamson, there are not enough officers on the streets to catch speeding drivers." A really big issue obviously for anybody that's driven on the streets," Adamson said."The condition of our road but also the rash of lunatic drivers that are driving the roads with us."
Martin has 16 staples in his head and a fractured pelvis. His grandfather, Gerald Hatcher, said he's a trooper."He is just getting stronger and stronger and stronger," Hatcher said.WRTV uncovered just this week three children have been hit in the morning while waiting to go to school. Adamson points to roads needing safer designs for pedestrians, but says IMPD also needs to take a stricter approach to traffic enforcement.
IMPD Officer William Young said traffic officers aren't being pulled to work in other departments but can still take patrol calls."Our officers can't be everywhere at one time," Young said."We only have so many traffic officers. We only have so many police officers. However, if we learn of a particular area, as we stated before, we'll try to put our focus on that area.
