The Traffic Unit’s goal is to create a safe driving environment for motorists in and around the City of Golden. The Traffic Unit will continue to aggressively enforce the traffic laws of the City and State to ensure the citizens of Golden will be as safe as possible.

The Unit will support resolution #1793 of the city-wide sustainability goals to “increase the ability of Golden residents and visitors to travel to and through Golden using alternative transportation.” The department will accomplish this by doing our part as a traffic enforcement and educational unit, making the City more pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

The Traffic Unit is staffed with four members of the department. These members are responsible for accident reconstruction, DUI reduction, traffic monitoring for aggressive drivers, education and ancillary projects with the goal of reducing accidents.

The department continues to conduct Port of Entry checkpoints for commercial vehicle safety regulations and weight compliance.

The department is involved with the education of Golden Officers in the area of traffic enforcement, accident investigation, DUI detection.

The Traffic Unit is involved in community events and enforcement periods such as;

National Night Out
Buffalo Bill Days
Golden Super Cruise
4th of July
Buckle Up Colorado
LEAF grant Enforcement
