WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE By John F. Bailey. October 3, 2004: The New York State Police staged a relentless display of speeding enforcement Saturday on Interstate 684 between White Plains and Brewster. A dozen Trooper cars picked off speeders at the rate of  16 an hour all Saturday morning and were still at it at 12:30 P.M. It was the most aggressive, relentless and effective enforcement this reporter who rolls up and down 684 with alarming frequency all summer long has seen.

At 10:30 A.M., WPCNR rolling North noted four pull-overs Ticket Awards in session simultaneously with 4 troopers writing up four different cars between Westchester Avenue at the "Jackknife alley" and the Westchester County Airport exit on Southbound 684.  Two other Black & Golds were posed at a crossover to pickoff any more “hotches driving too fast.” WPCNR could not help but thinking that if the New York State Police targeted 684 and the Sprain Brook Parkway regularly like this, New York State Budget problems would be solved.

Returning from the Brewster area at 12 noon, WPCNR noted the Freeway Flyers were still in action, spotting a task force resting their right arms at  the rest stop near Katonah gearing up for more action.
