The primary purpose of the Traffic Unit is to reduce traffic accidents and make Idaho Falls as safe a place to drive, ride a bike and walk as possible. The Traffic Unit is comprised of 6 officers and their Sergeant that handle the traffic issues and complaints that come into the police department.
They are the primary responders when available to automobile crashes and work to get dangerous drivers off the streets, and our community outreach efforts bring our officers out to speak at driver education classes, and to promote driving safety training at community events.
