Everyday I'm asked what we are doing to conserve gas and cut costs and the answer is simple. Everything we can without compromising the safety of our citizens and our guests. Gas conservation is not something new for us. We began looking for ways to conserve gas several years ago and continue to seek new and innovative ways to conserve energy.

For several years, we have used foot patrols and "doubled up" non-emergency responders as ways to cut gas consumption. Simple things like keeping the engines tuned and fuel and air filters changed helps reduce consumption. So does checking tire pressure and reducing weight inside the vehicle. We have also reduced idle time in an effort to cut costs.

Currently we are looking into several new ways to reduce consumption that include using nitrogen in tires, use of hybrid vehicles, and using smaller more economical vehicles for non-emergency vehicles.

The most important thing that I'd like the public to know is that we are doing everything we can to maintain the services necessary to keep our citizens safe and to reduce energy consumption. While the Morehead City Police Department's goal has always been to provide the best possible service to our citizens we also keep in mind that efficiency and effectiveness of those services has a major impact on budget management.
