Video can also be reviewed with an officer upon request.

• The Neighborhood Traffic Violation Reporting Form can be submitted for general traffic concerns, or for specific and/or repeat violations when information on an offending vehicle is available.


• In cases in which information on an offending vehicle is available, the Police Department may submit a courtesy letter to the registered owner of the vehicle, notifying them of the violation(s) and asking for their compliance with the traffic laws.


• It is not necessary for the reporting person to provide their contact information.


• The reporting form should not be used to request emergency assistance or report crimes in progress. In these cases dial 9-1-1.
