On Tuesday October 11, 2005, the HRM Integrated Traffic Unit was launched. The Unit, which consists of 10 officers from both HRP and RCMP, patrols six divisions throughout HRM (Central, East, West, Lower Sackville, Cole Harbour and Tantallon) in patrol vehicles and on motorcycles.

The primary goals of the Traffic Unit are to improve traffic safety in HRM, address chronic traffic complaints and enhance the Traffic Unit through equipment and officers. These goals are achieved by identifying the primary concerns of HRM residents and focussing on education and direct enforcement. Its mandate is to educate through enforcement.
The Traffic Unit develops campaigns during the year when traffic violations may increase such as 'Operation School Zone' in September, 'Operation Slowdown in the summer months and 'Operation Christmas' during the holiday season. |
