In response to the increased amount of vehicular traffic passing through Brielle and with three major traffic routes funneling daily commuters and weekend tourists to and from the shore area, a need was recognized for development of a unit which would conduct proactive enforcement as well as investigate motor vehicle crashes. A specialized unit was made, and has been in place ever since, growing into a multi-faceted, highly accomplished and professional section within the Division of Police. The Traffic Safety Section is comprised of highly skilled police officers whose training and expertise provide valuable services to the citizens of Brielle.
Besides conducting traffic enforcement and investigating motor vehicle crashes, the traffic safety section and its member officers participate in and instruct a host of education programs which benefit the residents of Brielle.
From the standpoint of safety, the officers within the Traffic Safety Section are instrumental each year in preparing grants and procuring moneys for the purpose of conducting special enforcement details aimed at keeping Brielle’s roadways safe. These grants provide tens-of-thousands of dollars to fund enforcement operations such as Drunk Driving Enforcement, Click-It-Or-Ticket, Over the Limit, Under Arrest, as well as fund several DWI Checkpoints. Other safety-minded details and programs include Child Seat Safety Inspections and Be Street Smart Campaign.
The Traffic Safety Section also conducts engineering studies, evaluations and assessments which focus on roadway safety within the township. Data collection and analysis has also helped to identify dozens of hazardous roadway conditions and locations.
The Traffic Safety Unit is supervised by DSgt. Kevin Williams.
