  • Our Services - Traffic Enforcement

    Members of the Smiths Falls Police Service are responsible for enforcing provincial and municipal traffic laws within the town limits. The Smiths Falls Police Service investigates all major traffic accidents, and works in conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation to conduct safety inspections on truck and passenger vehicles. Lastly, the Smiths Falls Police Service actively disseminates traffic related information to local schools and service clubs.

    Speed is enforced with the assistance of stationary and hand-held radar devices. Handheld devices are used from a stopped patrol car, and can accurately measure the speed of any passing vehicle. Mounted radar devices are typically affixed to the patrol car, and perform similar to the handheld devices. They can also accurately measure the speed of any vehicle which is going in the same direction of, or in the opposing direction of a moving patrol car.

    In addition, patrol vehicles are equipped with dash mounted video cameras which can provide video documentation of traffic stops. A recent addition to our fleet of patrol vehicles as been front mounted push-bumpers which can be used to push a disabled vehicle from a busy intersection without damaging the bumper of the police vehicle.


    Dash Mount Mobile Doppler Radar in Operation


    The Speed Laser from Laser Atlanta is an extremely fast and accurate speed measuring device.

    The unit provides readings of target speed in 0.3 seconds at a range up to 7000 feet or 2,133 meters. The unit is also highly precise allowing for targeting of specific vehicles in heavy traffic.

    The Speed Laser is a tool that will greatly assist the Smiths Falls Police Service with our ongoing commitment to improve public safety on our roadways.


    Canada Road Safety Week
