The Park City Police Department in late August and on the first day of September reported numerous cases on the roads, as crowds arrived in the community for the busy Labor Day weekend.

The agency heavily patrols the roads, and traffic stops for speeding and other moving violations are commonplace.

In one case in late August, the police received information about possible road racing. That sort of complaint is unusual inside Park City.

On Thursday, Aug. 29, at 5:15 p.m., the Police Department fielded a complaint about issues with drivers on Amundsen Court. The police were told of “high speed, high races, with very high end cars,” according to department logs. The person said the issue occurred between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. over the course of several mornings.

Public police logs sometimes do not provide detailed information about cases.

Other cases reported by the police recently include:
