Purpose Statement
Speed Trailers
Traffic Division
The Traffic Division currently consists of 3 Officers.
Our responsibilities are to investigate all traffic collisions, enforce traffic laws
and respond to any traffic related calls for service.
Motor Unit
Inside the Traffic Division is the Motor Unit. This unit currently rides Harley Davidson Motorcycles.
Besides traffic enforcement, the Motor Unit has other additional functions.
This includes, parades, funerals, walking/running events and Dignitary protection.
Officers in the Motor Unit are highly trained and are required to pass
what some might consider the hardest police training out there.
Maneuvering an 800 lb motorcycle is harder than it looks.
Commercial Vehicle Inspections
The South Jordan Police Department's Traffic Division also has a Commercial Vehicle Inspector certified through CVSA (Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance). Officer Winkler stops commercial vehicles and completes a thorough safety inspection, taking unsafe commercial motor vehicles off the roadways. Inspections are completed either randomly, resulting from traffic stops or traffic collisions, or by appointment.
To make an appointment, please call the SJPD at 801-254-4708 and ask for Officer Winkler or email Officer Winkler through the link below.
