Traffic Enforcement

The mission of the Traffic Enforcement Division is to solve traffic safety problems through partnerships with our citizens and other agencies. We accomplish this by educating the public of contemporary issues affecting public safety.  The Traffic Enforcement Unit utilizes its relationship with the Beaufort & Hampton County Sheriff's Offices, the South Carolina Highway Patrol and the 14th Circuit Law Enforcement Network (LEN). The Traffic Enforcement Unit also uses enforcement of traffic laws and high visibility patrol as a means to gain voluntary compliance with the rules of the road. The Traffic Enforcement Unit is led by Sergeant Michael Strauss and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and augments the Patrol division as necessary.
