The Ogden Police Department’s Traffic Unit is a dedicated team comprised of six officers, two parking attendants, and one sergeant. Their mission is to promote public safety by fostering community partnerships, raising awareness, and educating residents on traffic-related issues. Through proactive enforcement of traffic laws and ordinances, the unit works to maintain order and reduce risks on the city’s roadways.
In addition to routine traffic enforcement, the Traffic Unit handles investigations of hit-and-run incidents, fatal accidents, and conducts detailed accident reconstructions when needed. They also respond to traffic-related complaints, ensuring community concerns are addressed. Beyond their enforcement duties, the team plays a vital role in supporting city events such as parades, marches, and bike and foot races. You’ll often see Traffic Unit officers on motorcycles, assisting with traffic control, funeral processions, and motorcades for visiting dignitaries — all in service to keeping Ogden’s streets safe and secure.
