Motor vehicles registration and plates 2015

The Somerton Police Department informs:

The Department of Motor Vehicles, at present integrated in the SPD structure, reminds Somertonians that the 2015 motor vehicles registration is underway. Applications for license plates of motor vehicles used by residents in the Somerton Metro Area (SMA) are available. Somertonians that do not reside in the SMA but often travel to it with a recurrent vehicle do not need apply but can if they so wish. The deadline for the 2015 registration with the DMV is January 31. Registration is mandatory for SMA residents.

The applications can be obtained through the SPD 911 points (aka "Blue Light Points") in Greenwich Village, East River and Long Island, at the East River SPD precinct or through any SPD officer. We remind the public that Somerton license plates have been exempt from taxes for 2015 by the Authority and that existing vehicles used by Somerton residents in the SMA that are not license plate friendly may be considered exceptions, the owners of such vehicles are expected to carry a plate holder with the license plate none the less.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Have a great day in Somerton.

Welcome to the SPD's blog

 
With the information required from a police department such as Somerton's, we are using a blog to convey important announcements, make the SPD known to Somertonians and keep records of public relevance both for the sake of transparency and the benefit of our cadets, officers and detectives.

As a single reminder, one that will make this post a reference in the future, we would like to make very clear to both Somertonians in general and the public at large that the Somerton Police Department merely enforces the law described in detail in the Somerton Covenant, as it is determined by the Somerton Authority, commonly referred to as "the Authority". SPD is not a legislative body, but an executive one.
We trust Somertonians understand this and cooperate with SPD officers at all times to help them make Somerton safer, prosperous and growing.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience in the early stages of our community's life and in the many days to come as we move forward.
Have a great day in Somerton.

Asra Kron
Chief of Department, SPD
