BETHEL PARK POLICE TRAFFIC DIVISION

             The Bethel Park Police Traffic Division is responsible for enhancing traffic safety in the community for the residents of Bethel Park and the thousands of motorists who travel through Bethel Park everyday.  Presently, the Traffic Division is staffed by a Traffic Sergeant and two Traffic Patrolmen.  Officers assigned to the Traffic Division have undergone extensive training in PA Motor Vehicle Code enforcement, Advanced Vehicle Collision Investigation,  Traffic Collision Reconstruction, and a whole host of specialized training geared for traffic safety and enforcement.

             In addition to extensive training, Traffic Division officers are equipped with specialized equipment for both collision investigations and speed enforcement.  The Traffic Division has obtained two new pieces of speed enforcement equipment in the forms of ENRADD and V-SPEC.  ENRADD stands for Electric Non RADar Device, which utilizes infrared light to determine vehicle speeds. V-SPEC stands for Vehicle Speed Electronic Calculator, which utilizes a predetermined algorithm to determine vehicle speeds over a given distance.
