Traffic Division

The Traffic Division focuses on accident investigation and traffic safety and enforcement. It works closely with schools, businesses and the community to identify and reduce or eliminate problems caused by traffic congestion and violations and to reduce the number of accidents.

The Traffic Division is responsible for special events such as parades and celebrations where a police detail is required and streets may have to blocked and traffic rerouted. The Traffic Division provides Crossing Guards for schools.

Traffic Officers receive advanced training in areas such as Accident Investigation, Accident Reconstruction, DWI enforcement, Drug Interdiction, and Photography. Traffic Officers also assist with responding to patrol calls for service.

Members of the division make frequent use of technologies such as laser units for speed enforcement and Radar Speed Trailers to monitor traffic which give drivers instant feedback on how fast they are going. Traffic stops for motor vehicle violations frequently lead to the discovery crimes and wanted persons. They also use a computerized laser scene reconstruction system along with a computer program for accident diagrams.

You can call the Traffic Division if you have a concern over a traffic problem, or a location where you would think traffic enforcement or the Speed Trailer would be beneficial.
