A Traffic Enforcement Officer is a law enforcement professional responsible for ensuring that traffic laws are followed. They monitor roadways, intersections, and parking areas to prevent violations such as speeding, running red lights, and illegal parking. Their primary goal is to enhance road safety for all users, including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. These officers often issue citations for traffic violations and may assist in accident investigations. They work closely with other law enforcement agencies and may also engage in community outreach to educate the public about safe driving practices and the importance of obeying traffic laws.
