New Palestine police will sit along 500 W. (Gem Road) from the train tracks just off of U.S. 52 out to around 300 S. Often can be found at the power station, and in the road shoulders leading into the several housing editions along the way. Favorite spots seem to be the farmhouses on 500 just south of the first entrance to Countryside as one travels north. These areas have plenty of trees. Officers will also wait just inside a housing edition as there are often trees/landscaping buildups to hide the car behind.

Enforcement may be seen often during the AM rush to 52 (especially due to the high school driving traffic), from 2:20PM until 3:00PM or so, right after school has let out for the day, and after dark and/or 9PM through the entire week. Be aware that officers will often tailgate at night in order to try and force you to speed up and then nail you with a ticket. If you’re being followed, it’s a good idea to turn into a housing edition (each has several routes to return to the country roads) and drive very slowly (15mph or so). After dark, under no circumstances, should one speed up much if being tailgated.
