They said traffic investigation unit officers are specially trained.
For these investigators, the moments immediately following a motor vehicle accident are crucial.
Officers must work quickly and confidently to preserve significant physical evidence from the accident scene before it is altered or disappears. Officers also reconstruct the scene of a traffic accident to determine how it occurred.
DPS also has a unit to conduct DUI patrols and traffic enforcement activities to help ensure safer highways and roadways.
This unit is tasked at reducing alcohol-related traffic fatalities, injuries, and property damage by aggressively enforcing CNMI traffic laws during the evening and early morning hours.
The DUI unit personnel are specially trained to detect and apprehend impaired drivers on highways and roadways.
The selective traffic law enforcement unit enforces traffic laws and promote the safe flow of traffic on highways and roadways.
Its officers handle crashes, direct traffic, assist in escorting dignitaries, assist in fatal and critical accident investigations, and other duties as assigned.
Besides speed enforcement activities, they gather statistical data and utilize them to conduct other traffic enforcement activities.
