Traffic Enforcement
We realize no one likes to receive a traffic citation. However, citations have been shown to greatly reduce traffic collisions, as well as a reminder to motorists their attention to the task of driving is mandatory.
Every traffic law is important, and many people think of speeding and stop sign violations when they think about getting a ticket. Our motor officers, through their first-hand experience, would like to share the top violations they see in our city:
Traffic Collision Investigation
The traffic bureau reviews and conducts additional investigations, when necessary, of traffic collisions. Officers assigned to the traffic bureau attend additional California POST certified training in traffic collision investigation. This training assists them in determining not only how a collision occurred, but why it occurred. Unfortunately, many collisions occur due to violations like the ones mentioned above, or when people drive while being under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
