Area police departments are feeling the pinch of high gasoline prices as much as their residents and some have implemented fuel saving strategies.
In Bradley Beach efforts at controlling fuel costs are having the added benefit of increasing personal relations with merchants and residents, said Lt. Neil Scully.
Scully said officers have been directed to devote at least one half hour twice during their shifts to walking the beat.
