Speed Trailer

The Patrol Division is also responsible for the maintenance and deployment of the department’s Speed Trailer. The Speed Trailer is a specialized speed monitoring trailer that the department puts out in various locations to seek voluntary compliance with posted speed limits. The trailer reads the speed of oncoming vehicles and prominently displays the speed so the driver is made aware of exactly how fast they are going. The speed trailer cannot issue citations and is only utilized to gain voluntary compliance from the driving public.

The Department works in conjunction with the Elgin Independent School District to keep one officer assigned to the Elgin Middle School and one officer assigned to the Elgin High School. Currently, Officer Cristian Bretfelean handles all school issues.
