The purpose of trafffic enforcement in the City of Clifton is to ensure the safety of all vehicle operators and pedestrians within all areas of the city. One aspect of traffic enforcement conducted by the Clifton Police Department involves enforcing vehicle/pedestrian laws in and around the many school zones located within the city. During these enforcements officers handle both moving and parking violations, along with pedestrian issues. One of the methods utilized in conducting these operations is "Non-Confrontational Enforcement". This type of enforcement involves officers observing violations occurring in their presence, recording the license plate of the vehicle involved in the violation, and mailing the appropriate summons to the registered owner of the vehicle. This type of enforcement reduces the number of officers required to conduct the operation; thus, allowing for the availibility of other officers to handle emergencies and other police related functions. NOTE: Any violation or incident observed by an officer that would be categorized as an imminent danger to the public is addressed immediately on scene.
A frequent violation that occurs not only within school zones, but throughout the city, is illegal parking. Illegal parking is not acceptable as it adds to both traffic and security issues. This type of violation may result in either a summons being issued or in some instances, a vehicle being towed from the scene if the driver can not be located, or if some type of hazard exists.
One of the main goals of the Clifton Police Department is to ensure a safe environment for all. With that in mind, this notice is intended to educate the public and discourage traffic related violations.
