Traffic Safety
The primary goal of the Traffic Safety Team is to reduce the number of crashes through enforcement and education efforts. Formed in 1996, the Traffic Safety Team consists of nine team members, who drive motorcycles, Ford Mustangs and a Dodge Charger. In 2004, the team was restructured as a self-funding unit. This structure using funds from traffic citations versus your tax dollars. This system effectively uses funds from those contributing to traffic safety problems to enforce traffic laws and our traffic safety programs.
The team is responsible for the enforcement of traffic laws and conducting traffic safety education in Marion County.
Traffic Information
The
Crash Team is an interagency unit made up of Sheriff's Deputies and Oregon State Police, Salem, Keizer and Woodburn Police Departments. Their charge is to investigate all fatal and major non-fatal traffic accidents where a contributing factor may be criminal in nature. Crash Team members assist the primary law enforcement agency in the collection of evidence, diagram, measurement, and reconstruction of the accident scene. Training for the team is extremely intensive and time consuming. Deputies selected for this team are recognized "expert witnesses" and their expertise is called upon in various locations throughout the state.
