Traffic Unit

The Department has a strong 'Community Policing' philosophy and partners with the community to create a safer environment for the motoring public. In 2007, the Traffic Unit was removed from the patrol schedule in order to meet their goals and better serve the citizens and visitors of Oro Valley. 

The goals of the Traffic Unit are to respond to citizens traffic concerns, be highly visible to the public, and enforce traffic laws. By staying proactive and achieving these goals, the Motor Unit is able to deter criminal behavior from residing in or targeting Oro Valley. The three measures deploying the Motor Unit are highest collision intersections, special events and citizens' traffic concerns.

The Oro Valley Traffic Unit is a combination of motor officers, DUI officers, a traffic investigator and sergeant.  Motor officers required to maintain proficiency by attending a quarterly eight hour in-service training.  The Traffic Unit takes great pride in riding excellence, sharp appearance, integrity and professionalism.
