The Traffic Section is part of the Special Operations Division. The section plays an intricate roll in reducing traffic crashes, traffic related deaths, and impaired driving within Nashville and Davidson County. The Traffic Section works in partnership with the Tennessee Governor’s Highway Safety Office and organizations such as MADD, in an effort to eliminate drunk and impaired drivers on our roadways.
The Traffic Section of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department strives to make our streets the safest streets in the country for traveling and local motorists. One way we are able to improve the safety of our roadways is through education and information sharing. If you have a topic you need information on, chances are someone else does too. Feel free to e-mail Erika.Bowden@Nashville.gov with your traffic related questions. We will answer your questions and may also include a section covering that topic in future newsletters.
The section consists of the following units:
Aggressive Driving Unit
Child Passenger Seat Specialists
Crash Investigations Unit
DUI Unit
Hit and Run Unit
