Notorious speed trap. The town police use a Jeep Cherokee as a police vehicle, and are usually set up just after you enter the town from the car ferry. Favorite sites are near the fire hall, or just opposite the weigh scales. Since the town boundaries expanded, they also use the western town boundary, near the McCain plant.

City Police park in motel & business parking lots near the airport, and there often 2-4 cruisers.
