SPEED MEASUREMENT DEVICES

The Traffic Unit utilizes a number of advanced technologies to monitor and enforce the speed limits. Aside from state of the art radar units which are installed in the vehicles, several handheld Lidar units are available for enforcement efforts. The Traffic Unit currently utilizes three brands of LIDAR speed measurement devices; the LTI pro lite, Stalker, and Kustom Pro-lite+.

The handheld units consist of both Radar and Lidar technologies which allow the officer to observe speed violators in a more mobile fashion.

The Traffic Unit currently utilizes two brands of RADAR speed measurement; the Stalker Dual DSR Radar and the Kustom Golden Eagle directional unit. Both units are capable of tracking speed in stationary and moving mode, front and rear, as well as having the capability of tracking the fastest vehicle along with the strongest signal simultaneously.

SPEED MONITORING AND RADAR TRAILER

On a case by case basis, the Traffic Unit utilizes equipment capable of continuous monitoring of traffic on a road over a specified period of time. The speed survey data gathered from these devices include, total number of vehicles per 15 minute incriment, max and average speed, hours of peak travel, and more. This technology is used at the descretion of the Traffic Unit however, survey results are made available as requested when available. Contact Cpl. Paul Dashnaw for more information on speed surveys.
