even when the patrols aren't evident, said Mike Wildgen, city manager.
"This division places an emphasis on stop-light running, speeding and general traffic enforcement," Wildgen said. "Hopefully this focus will help us establish an emphasis in those areas over the next three years."
In other Kansas communities, such as Overland Park, the emphasis on traffic patrols has come at the expense of other divisions, like those that cruise the streets late at night as part of the "saturation patrol."
Saturation patrols deploy groups of officers in areas where drinking and driving is
Unlike a sobriety checkpoint, where every driver is pulled over, only those drivers suspected of drinking are detained as part of a saturation patrol.
With the creation of the new traffic safety division, staffing both types of sobriety patrols should be easier
prevalent
"For previous patrols and checkpoints, we required special funding from KDOT to set those up and man them," said Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick.
Because the police department can't qualify for two different grants at once, the old sobriety enforcement grant essentially will run out, said traffic division supervisor Sgt. Randy Roberts.
More patrols and sobriety
checkpoints means the way home for those who risk drinking and driving won't be any easier.
"We will be doing them in the future through this grant, though where or when I just don't know yet," Roberts said. "But our mere presence should help reduce accidents."
For now the presence of the traffic safety division can't be felt anywhere because the highly equipped cars are still on the assembly line.
Until then, the traffic officers are essentially on loan to the patrol division, Roberts said.
The federal grant runs through September 2005, at which point the responsibility for funding the division will fall to the city.

fessor of history, discussed the French position.
Mosser said he agreed with Fourry that the forum was a good way to inform the public. He said, however, that University students were more aware of international relations than the average person.
"Students have a more enlightened attitude than the general public," Mosser said.
"Students are more knowledgeable and open minded to new ideas."
Oreda Mouzaoui, graduate student in international studies from Besançon, France, attended the forum and said she was pleased with Strikwerda's presentation on France.
"Iliked it especially because of Strikwerda's inclusion of history," Mouzaoul said. "He put it back into a real dimension."
media. France and America are very similar in Mouzaoul's mind.
"We have lots in common," Mouzaoui said. "We have a big relationship that this disagreement over foreign policy will not destroy. I think the government and the media are dramatizing this."
The panel recorded the discussion and plans to post it on the European Studies Web site, www.ku.edu/~ces, for the public to listen to digitally.

support the young artists of tomorrow," he said.
Stanliunas said the University Theatre was also planning to raise money by applying for an
Arts Commission grant, applying for money from Student Senate and hosting a garage sale at the end of the semester. Staniunas will also teach a tap dancing class for people older than 30 this summer with all of the proceeds going to the campaign.
The University Theatre is hoping to raise the $50,000 by Sept. 1, Staniumas said. They plan to christen the new theater in the fall with a special showing of Cabaret, he said.
