If the traffic supervisor is not available, you may leave a voice mail and he will call you back. If appropriate, the traffic supervisor assigns the problem for follow-up to a traffic officer, and the beat officer in the area where the situation exists. Your traffic concerns are important to us, and all problems will be addressed. We do ask for your patience, as there are many neighborhoods, high accident areas and school zones that need the traffic unit's attention.
