The East Greenwich Township Police Department Traffic Control Unit consists of two officers -- Ptl. William Crothers, and Ptl. Dave Forand. The Traffic Unit is responsible for investigating serious and fatal motor vehicle crashes, as well as traffic enforcement.

The Traffic Unit is responsible for inventory and sales of vehicles impounded for crimes and traffic violations. The Traffic Unit writes grants to receive state and federal funding for traffic enforcement, such as seatbelt patrols, and drinking and driving patrols.

East Greenwich Traffic Officers also review all traffic crash reports completed by department officers before being released to the public. Traffic Officers supervise the deployment of the department's "Speed Trailer," which is used to deter motorists from exceeding the posted speed limits within the Township.

The Traffic Unit offers child seat safety inspection for East Greenwich Township residents. These inspections are available by appointment only, and can be arranged by calling (856) 423-4322.
