Enforcement Initiatives In 2003 Division 2 started a project where they worked very closely with the City Traffic Branch and identified the top high collision intersections. In an effort to really improve road safety and reduce the amount of injuries and deaths occurring in Hamilton. The Police commenced targeted enforcement at the top high collision intersections which were causing the most injuries and deaths. * Extreme Success* *2008 Award of Excellence*
Develop community based traffic safety partnerships and enforcement initiatives that reduce incidents of motor vehicle collisions at the top 5 accident locations in each Patrol Division.

Traffic Complaints All traffic complaints are recorded into a database and receive direct attention by our Traffic and Front Line officers. However we must be careful because traffic complaints do not always identify the areas with true traffic problems. Often traffic complaints can be perceptional.
