The Traffic Unit is responsible for the enforcement of provincial regulations and city bylaws, as well as the investigation of all serious motor vehicle collisions, injuries and fatalities. In addition, members of the unit provide over-dimensional loads and funeral escorts, traffic education through lectures to a variety of community groups and conduct joint force check stops with partners such as; Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD), Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Alberta Infrastructure & Transportation Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Branch. As part of the Alberta Occupant Restraint Program, every Wednesday between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM throughout the year, members of the public can attend a FREE car seat clinic to ensure child and infant seats are correctly installed. Between the months of May to September the clinics are held at the Alberta Health Services Clinic (located on Dunmore Road SE). During the months of October through April the clinic is held at the Alberta Health Services EMS station located on Trans Canada Way SE. Each month the members of the Patrol and Traffic Units concentrate their efforts on the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP), enforcing those traffic offenses focusing on the leading causes of collisions. See this month's focus here.
