Comprised of a supervisor and patrol officer(s), the Traffic Unit is tasked with ensuring the safety of roadway users and pedestrians. The Traffic Unit identifies and evaluates unregistered, uninsured, stolen, or suspicious motor vehicles. Officers utilize various equipment to collect accurate, quantifiable information when addressing hazards or complaints. To reinforce its effectiveness in 2022, the Traffic Unit was bolstered by support from other regional traffic units from within our compact to address complaints of speeding and roadway safety compliance.
