Traffic Safety

Introduction
Traffic safety units within local police departments focus on traffic enforcement and accident investigation within their jurisdictions.
Speed Enforcement

Traffic police use radar and laser technology to monitor speed and enforce speed limits, often targeting problem areas.

Impaired Driving

Combating drunk and drugged driving is a major focus, with officers trained in DUI detection and standardized field sobriety testing.

Seatbelt Use

Promoting and enforcing seatbelt use is a critical component of traffic safety, as seatbelts significantly reduce the risk of injury in crashes.

Distracted Driving

Reducing distracted driving, particularly texting while driving, is a growing concern, with campaigns and enforcement efforts targeting this behavior.

Traffic Incident Management

Traffic safety units are also involved in managing traffic incidents, like accidents, to minimize delays and secondary collisions.
