MORRISON — Driving into Morrison, itap not uncommon to see police officers on the side of the road writing tickets.

Morrison has been known for its speed traps. It has been the primary funding mechanism for such a small town that has its own police department.

Morrison’s new chief of police says he’s aware of the town’s reputation.
