Traffic crashes and complaints help guide our enforcement activities. Research has shown that crashes occurring in Auburn Hills are the result of speeding, following too close and running red lights. Please drive carefully and wear your seat belt!

The Auburn Hills Police Department's Directed Patrol Unit will be concentrating on the following areas in the upcoming weeks:

Opdyke Corridor
Since the reduction of accidents is our main goal, we will be working many special details along Opdyke Road. Intersections along this road account for the majority of accidents that occur within the City. Officers will be watching intersections for red light violations, running radar for speeding violations and will be strictly enforcing seat belt usage violations. Please make a point of driving safely and help us reduce the number of accidents occurring along this roadway.
