Traffic Unit
The Davis Police Department Traffic Unit consists of two motorcycle officers and a traffic sergeant. Motorcycles are often used for traffic enforcement because they allow officers easier accessibility to traffic related problems.
The traffic enforcement officers are primarily responsible for enforcing California Vehicle Code statutes, enforcement of local traffic ordinances, and investigation of vehicle collisions. The purpose of the traffic unit is to create safer roadways for motorist, cyclists and pedestrians. This is accomplished through enforcing traffic laws, educating citizens and addressing roadway engineering issues.
The traffic officers respond to community complaints regarding traffic safety issues and provide dedicated enforcement at high collision intersections.
If you are concerned about a specific traffic related issue, you are encouraged to contact the traffic unit by telephone, at 530-747-5413.
