Traffic Safety

Drayton Valley Enforcement Services works collaboratively with other law enforcement partners to identify high-risk locations and behaviours. This information is used to help target enforcement efforts to increase traffic safety in the community.

When conducting traffic safety enforcement, Peace Officers may do so in a variety of ways. This includes roving patrols, static patrols and traffic safety operations.

In addition, Drayton Valley Enforcement Services uses speed signs to help educate motorists regarding their speed. Locations are determined by Enforcement Services both on officer observations as well as complaints from the public regarding speed.
