The Simpsonville Police Department Traffic Enforcement Unit is comprised of one Sergeant, and three Patrolmen.  The primary goal of the Traffic Enforcement Unit is to reduce the number of Traffic Collisions and Fatalities that occur in the City Limits of Simpsonville. 

The primary job of the Traffic Enforcement unit is to enforce South Carolina Traffic Laws and the City of Simpsonville’s Traffic Ordinances.  This is done with both marked and unmarked Patrol Vehicles.  Traffic Enforcement officers also investigate the majority of traffic collisions that occur in the City Limits of Simpsonville.  

The Traffic Enforcement Unit is also involved in many different Traffic Blitzes (Work Zone safety, The Buckle up South Carolina safe driving campaign, sober or slammer, and many more).  The Unit also assists other agencies in Greenville County through the Greenville Safe Communities Traffic Task Force. 

If you have a Traffic Complaint in your neighborhood or a question regarding the State of South Carolina Traffic laws please email Sgt Foreman at SgtForeman@Simpsonvillepd.com or contact the Traffic Enforcement Unit at (864) 967-2599.

 WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC COLLISION

 First and foremost check everyone involved for injuries, then contact 911 or call the Police Department directly at 967-9536.  Let dispatch know if there are any injuries.  Please be sure to give the dispatcher your location, street names are helpful but you can also give them local landmarks.  Be sure that you have your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance ready so that you can give it to the officer that arrives to investigate the collision.   

After the officer completes the investigation he will give you an FR-10 form (green form).  Please make sure that the FR-10 form is taken to your insurance company within 15 days from the date of the traffic collision.
