1. Discuss or explain the Difference of Police Traffic Law Enforcement and

Court Traffic Law Enforcement (Minimum of 10 sentences)
 Police Traffic Law Enforcement is the enforcement of traffic laws
deterrent to law violations, special assistance to prosecutors and
courts and incidental service to highway users. The ultimate goal of
traffic law enforcement is to reduce traffic collisions. This may be
achieved through the application of such techniques as
geographic/temporal assignment of personnel and equipment and
the establishment of preventive patrols to deal with specific
categories of unlawful driving behavior. Traffic enforcement
techniques are based on accident data, enforcement activity
records, traffic volume, and traffic conditions. This department
provides enforcement efforts toward violations, not only in
proportion to the frequency of their occurrence in accident
situations, but also in terms of traffic-related needs. While Court
Traffic Law Enforcement is performed by the court through
PROSECUTION, ADJUDICATION and PENALIZATION of cases.
Imposing (by the courts) appropriate penalties upon those judged
guilty, of committing traffic offenses. Adjudication was intended to
provide the legal control and audit of driver behavior in the complex
highway safety environment.
