Agenda Item Summary:
This was a collaborative effort between the Rapid City Police Department and the City Attorney’s Office to identify behaviors in public places that are a risk to public safety. The new provisions regulate conduct that places people in fear of safety of life, limb, health, or property. The provisions also prohibit engaging in certain coercive-type conduct designed to induce a person to relinquish control over the person’s property. The provisions also prohibit engaging in a roadside distraction that either impedes the flow of traffic or causes a public safety issue. Finally, a new provision would make it unlawful to hinder or obstruct another’s free passage within any public street, alley, sidewalk or crosswalk after having consumed alcohol, marijuana or any controlled drug or substance.
