Bozeman Police Department

With the goal of improving public safety, the Bozeman Police Department has partnered with the Gallatin County DUI Task Force to provide an additional tool to educate the public.

The Bozeman Police Department recently received a hybrid RADAR/Variable Message Board mounted to a trailer that can be deployed anywhere in the City. The majority of the funding used to purchase this piece of equipment was received through a grant by the Montana Department of Transportation (“DOT”). With additional contributions from the Gallatin County DUI Task Force, this DOT funding allowed the Bozeman Police Department to purchase the equipment.

This device will be used as a source of education and information, which directly ties into the vision of the DUI Task Force. It will be used to provide information, directions, and reminders during major events in the Bozeman area. It will also be used to highlight problem areas in the City, to advise of traffic flow changes, and to increase awareness of problem intersections. Additionally, it can be used to notify of local emergencies and to display such items as Amber Alerts. The goal of all displays is to provide information and to increase public safety.

The Bozeman Police Department embraces its partnership with the Gallatin County DUI Task Force and the benefits this partnership brings in protecting our community.
