1) Educate citizens of lawful and safe driving habits through traditional and social media.
2) Gain voluntary compliance from the public, through aggressive traffic statute enforcement practices that are specific to locate, time and type of violation.
3) Reduce the number of vehicle collisions at high traffic volume intersections and roadways.
The criteria will for determining these locations will be based on:

- Manpower
- Calls for Service Load
- Officer / Supervisor Observations and Recommendations
