Traffic Enforcement
2008, Hamlin County had 148 accidents with about $610,800 in property damage.  There were 25 people injured and one fatality last year on Hamlin County roadways.  Traffic accidents interrupt the flow of traffic, lives and costs major money.  The goal in traffic enforcement is to reduce the number accidents and keep our roadway safe.  The Hamlin County Sheriff's Office does a number of patrols in problem areas and in areas were foot and vehicle traffic are high.  If you have a traffic complaint, please feel free to contact us.

1) Stop your vehicle as soon as possible to a safe location.
2) DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE, unless your instructed to do so.
3) Keep your hands visible to the officer.
4) If your carrying a firearm, let the officer know!
5) Follow the directions of the officer.
6) If you have any questions, make sure to ask the officer.  Do not argue with the officer.
7) When the traffic stop is done, enter traffic with caution.
 


Saturation Patrol

Saturation patrols are conducted throughout the year in many different locations in the county.  The goal of the saturation patrol is to reduce traffic violations and to reduce the number of accidents in a small area.  The areas that we work on are speed, seatbelt, and alcohol violations.  Stats have shown that these violations have been leading causes of fatal accidents nationwide. If you have a request for a saturation patrol, please contact us.
