Burlingame Police Awarded $48,300 Grant
The Burlingame Police Department recently received a $48,300 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a year-long traffic enforcement and public awareness program. The goal of the program is to educate the public about safe roadway habits, and deter people from practicing unsafe behaviors that lead to injuries and fatalities.
Burlingame Police Chief Eric Wollman said, “members of the Burlingame Police Department are committed to keeping our roads safe and educating the public about traffic safety. We are grateful to the Office of Traffic Safety for funding education and enforcement activities, and promoting safe roadways in Burlingame".
The grant from OTS will fund various education and enforcement activities for the 2019 federal fiscal year which spans from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019. Planned activities include:
- Saturation patrols to take suspected alcohol/drug-impaired drivers and unlicensed drivers off the road
- Patrols at intersections with increased incidents of pedestrian and bike collisions
- Seat belt and child safety seat compliance checks
- Speeding, red light, and stop sign enforcement
- Compilation of DUI “hot sheets” to identify repeat DUI offenders
- Specialized DUI and drugged driving training to identify and apprehend suspected impaired drivers

Environmental Tip of the Week
Adopt a drain near your home or work
T-23 days until National Make a Difference Day! But there’s no need to wait until then. You can make a sustainable difference today by adopting a storm drain near your home or work.
Adopting a storm drain means pledging to keep it clean by removing leaves and trash on top of the grate.
Why adopt? Volunteers who adopt a drain reduce localized flooding, prevent trash from entering the SF Bay, receive free supplies, and can name their adopted drain! Find a drain near you at
