Traffic Safety
The mission of the Traffic Safety Division is to provide a higher quality of life for all who use our roadways. The objective is to provide the maximum level of safety by actively working to save lives and reduce property damages. The Traffic Safety Division takes an active role in listening to the concerns of our citizens by responding to their needs through traffic initiatives. Examples of these initiatives include crash intersection mapping, school zone monitoring, road-rage management control, the use of a speed display trailer and high incident auto accident areas.
Traffic safety affects not only the expected issues of auto accident reduction and speed, but quality of life issues as well. Prom Promise, parking, junk cars, auto theft, theft from cars, repossessions, loud stereos, seat belt, and DUI enforcement are issues of safety for the community.
