Kings Point mayor ‘not happy’ with drop in police traffic enforcement

“Very, very few” traffic tickets have been issued by the Village of Kings Point Police Department in recent months, according to the village’s Board of Trustees. Mayor Kouros “Kris” Torkan said the board raises the issue with the police department on a weekly and often daily basis at a meeting on Nov. 12. 

Roughly 10-12 traffic tickets per month were issued in recent months, a sharp decrease from what “used to be” about 30 tickets, according to the board. Torkan said he is “not happy.”
