The mission of your Traffic Safety Unit is to reduce traffic related injuries and death through community engaged partnerships, traffic safety education, and enforcement. While there can be many contributing factors to traffic related crashes and injuries, there are a group of specific traffic law violations which are most common. These violations include, but are not limited to, speeding, followi
ng to close, inattentive driving (texting, hand held cell phone use, reading, eating, applying make-up, etc), aggressive driving, improper lane change, too fast for conditions, failure to stop/yield, not using headlights during rain or fog conditions, and failure to use seat belts. They are tasked with providing assistance in the prevention and detection of crimes, locating persons sought by law enforcement, as well as enhancing the Sheriff's Office community relations. Our K-9 unit provides demonstrations throughout the year at various schools and other community events.
