Traffic Enforcement Unit

The Police Department’s Traffic Enforcement Unit is dedicated to promoting traffic safety through the enforcement of traffic laws. The Traffic Enforcement Unit Officers perform their duties riding Harley Davidson Road King motorcycles, and they receive new motorcycles once a year through a lease program with a local Harley Davidson dealer.  Traffic Officers receive training in the investigation of traffic homicides and traffic crash reconstruction. The Traffic Enforcement Unit is comprised of eight traffic officers, and they are responsible for the investigation of traffic crashes and the enforcement of the State of Florida Traffic Laws.

 

In addition to enforcing traffic laws and investigating traffic crashes, the Traffic Officers perform ceremonial duties, such as parades and funeral escorts. The Traffic Division has developed a unit to address Aggressive Driving on the roads of Longwood.  Two officers in unmarked police vehicles patrol the roadways searching for aggressive drivers.  Aggressive Drivers can be categorized as those who run red lights and stop signs, speed, tailgate and/or violate the right of way of other drivers.
