This bureau is responsible for a wide variety of tasks, ranging from processing motor vehicle crash paperwork to overseeing the implementation of target motor vehicle enforcement assignments for Officers on the road. They oversee the School Crossing Guards, as well as answering citizen questions concerning traffic laws, addressing any traffic concerns of the residents and initiating selective enforcement details, such as DWI patrols, throughout the township.
The bureau has the responsibility to ensure that all police officers are trained in the proper completion of motor vehicle crash reports. However, we also have some specially trained officers that respond in the event of a fatal motor vehicle crash, who assist with documenting and possibly reconstructing the accident scene, if necessary.
Other duties that fall to the Traffic Bureau are ensuring that records related to radar certifications and Alcotest operators are updated.
