TRAFFIC UNIT

The Traffic Unit investigates motor vehicle crashes with serious injuries or fatalities and collects traffic data to identify problematic areas to determine the need for additional enforcement activities.  Traffic data is collected by several solar powered speed signs installed throughout town and also by deploying road tubes, which collect vehicle speeds, vehicle counts and direction of travel.  The Traffic Unit coordinates the deployment of the department message board which also acts as a portable speed limit advisory sign.  The Traffic Unit has officers who are trained in Alcotest, DRE (Drug Recognition Expert), SFST (Standardized Field Sobriety Testing), ARIDE (Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement), Radar, Lidar, Crash Investigation, and Child Safety Seat Installation.
