There are 2 officers on the traffic enforcement team. The unit's specialty is in reducing collisions. Strategies include Driving Under the Influence /Driver's License safety checkpoints and DUI roving patrols. The unit also produces a "hot sheet" to notify patrol officers to be on the lookout for identified repeat DUI offenders or those with suspended or revoked licenses as a result of previous DUI convictions. Court sting operations have been performed successfully which focus on DUI offenders with suspended or revoked licenses who continue to get behind the wheel of a vehicle.Traffic enforcement efforts have been effective enough that red-light collisions have decreased by 75%.
