TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT UNIT		TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT REQUEST
In 2004 the Fairfield Police Department created a traffic enforcement unit. Officers assigned to this unit are tasked to perform motor vehicle enforcement in all areas of town. Officers act on complaints from residents as well as conduct studies of high accident areas where enforcement may reduce the number and severity of motor vehicle accidents. The goal of this unit is to reduce accidents, increase the safety of our roads, increase driver compliance with motor vehicle laws. and answer citizen complaints. The Traffic Enforcement Unit uses a multitude of ways to accomplish their goals. Radar trailers, motorcycle patrol, unmarked police vehicles, and a zero tolerance attitude are just some of the method the traffic officers utilize.		Citizens who would like to request traffic enforcement in their neighborhood may complete a Problem Area Submission Form. The Traffic Enforcement Unit will review the request and determine the best action to take to meet your concerns.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE		SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS
Vehicles owned by the Fairfield Police Department are maintained by our own Master Mechanic. This allows us to have vehicles repaired more quickly, thus putting our cars back on the road in a more timely fashion.		The Fairfield Police Department oversees the school crossing guard program. These posts, covering some middle and elementary schools, are covered by civilian employees. Currently there are no openings for school crossing guards. For information you can contact 203-254-4890 and ask for Officer Sepot.

Neighborhood Petition Form

The Town of Fairfield takes its role in traffic safety very seriously. We appreciate the many complaints, requests, and suggestions we receive from various sources; because it helps our staff develop a safer transportation system. Due to limited resources, we cannot always respond quickly to your concerns or ideas. This does not mean that we do not value your input or appreciate your concerns. Many traffic and parking situations take considerable time to study and evaluate possible solutions. Quick solutions are often less effective in the long run. More appropriate solutions may cost the taxpayers more money, but we must prioritize the spending of our budget across the entire town. A potential problem in one part of town must be weighed against current needs in other areas.

In consideration of the above, we developed this Neighborhood Petition Form (NPF) for your use. Through this form, neighbors are encouraged to identify and discuss issues affecting them. Our goal is to have neighbors reach consensus on the problem and formulate a possible solution. Once a consensus is reached, it is required that the NPF be completed and forwarded to the Fairfield Police Department- Special Services Division.

As a resident of Fairfield who has identified a potential traffic safety issue, it is important that you involve your neighborhood in the possible solution. Our intent is to focus on the most important parking and traffic conditions in town, as neighborhood consensus is reached. This practice will ensure our best use of staff time and available resources.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
