Sheriff's Office

Kent County Traffic Squad

We have been here for a long time.

The Kent County Sheriff's Office Traffic Squad is the oldest organization of its kind in the country and has been serving the Kent County community since 1917. It is strictly a volunteer organization comprised of men and women from the business community, professionals and various other careers. All time, talents and services are donated while all training, uniforms and equipment are the financial responsibility of the individual officer.

The Traffic Squad's Enforcement Unit regularly assigns officers to assist the Sheriff's Office with a second officer in cruisers as well as additional support personnel for the Marine and Parks Division. The Squad also provides auxiliary law enforcement personnel to assist all law enforcement agencies in Kent County whenever there is need for additional trained manpower.

In the spring of 2005, the Squad established the IT Forensics Analysis Unit to assist the Sheriff's Office as well as other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies with computer related criminal investigations.

In the fall of 2006, we expanded our services again to include a Mounted Unit. This unit is another valuable law enforcement/community service asset for the Kent County Sheriff's Office and all of the agencies and communities it will serve.
