Turn off AC, walk, Arundel tells police

In the latest instance of fuel-price-conscious government agencies looking to save money, Anne Arundel County officials are urging police officers to increase foot patrols and refrain from using cruisers' air conditioning as ways to cut down on gasoline use.

County Executive John R. Leopold and Police Chief Col. James Teare Sr. said yesterday that officers will also be asked to stop idling, to cut vehicle weight by eliminating unnecessary items and to carpool when possible to crime scenes and training exercises.
