Traffic Enforcement Unit

The department has three full time traffic officers. The unit's primary duties are to be proactive in enforcing traffic laws, conducting traffic surveys, and investigating traffic complaints and traffic crashes.

Officers utilize various pieces of equipment such as RADAR units, in-car video systems and other speed-measuring devices to track drivers' actions. D.U.I. check points and Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs (S.T.E.P.) are scheduled periodically to accomplish the unit's goals of preventing crashes and gaining driver compliance with traffic laws.

Traffic Homicide Unit

The department has officers who have successfully completed a three part series of intense, highly technical coursework on crash investigation, complex vehicle dynamics, and crash reconstruction.

Traffic Homicide Investigators (T.H.I.) handle all vehicle crashes resulting in serious injuries and deaths, including crashes which involve pedestrians, bicycles, watercraft, tractor-trailers, etc.
