Traffic Enforcement

Police Sergeant Jason Head

Traffic in Newport is a common source of complaints among Newport residents. There are many facets to traffic management and there is no universal solution. The police department's traffic unit is responsible for enforcement, planning and education.

The purpose of this section is to make the public more aware of what we are doing to improve traffic. Sergeant Head and the Traffic Unit spread the word at neighborhood meetings, the Citizens' Police Academy and to people who call with a neighborhood traffic concern. The topics Sergeant Head most frequently discusses will be mentioned in the Traffic Enforcement pages.  If you have a traffic concern you would like to report please Click Here
