In our Annual Report to the community we stated:
“Patrol visibility and traffic enforcement play a key role in reducing crime, vehicle accidents, OVI, and traffic offenses that often directly or indirectly contribute to vehicle accidents. Studies have shown that active visible patrol is an effective deterrent to many of these problems. Our overall goal is simple: keep our community safe for residents, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, and maintain a reputation that Oakwood is a community where traffic laws are enforced.
Traffic enforcement will remain a cornerstone of the Safety Department’s policing philosophy. Daily goals and objectives of the Safety Department for uniform patrol and traffic enforcement include:
  • Actively conduct traffic enforcement on a daily basis.
  • Strictly enforce Oakwood parking regulations.
  • Be highly visible to the public.
  • Reduce the number of traffic crashes caused by moving violations.
  • Focus on school zone enforcement during months when schools are in session.
  • Conduct proactive radar enforcement at selected locations.
  • Monitor intersections where accidents and signal violations frequently occur.
  • Promptly address citizen complaints and concerns regarding traffic laws and violations.”
