In addition to providing regular traffic enforcement the division is also actively engaged in addressing problem traffic areas in Auburn. This includes looking for solutions for dangerous conditions and improving traffic flow. 

During the calendar year 2024, there appeared to be an increase in traffic complaints from the public throughout the town of Auburn. As result, Chief Lemon doubled the size of the unit by placing Officer Dyson in the traffic unit on a permanent basis in July. The Auburn Traffic Unit responded to these citizen concerns and made 1,334 traffic stops resulting in 1204 citations being issued. The traffic unit was also responsible for booking 50 local traffic crashes, making 21 physical arrests, and applying for criminal charges against 31 individuals. With the help of the Patrol Division, the department was able to reduce traffic collisions by 21%. 

Problem areas in town should be directed to the traffic division unless the problem constitutes an immediate risk to public safety which should be directed immediately to dispatch.

Serious motor vehicle accident investigations are handled by the traffic division accident reconstruction team.
