Joining Traffic Squad

Enforcement Unit Officers have successfully completed and graduated from The Traffic Squad Reserve Officer Training Academy and are sworn as Special Deputies with The Kent County Sheriff’s Office.​

​

All officers must complete the Department’s various annual qualifications and continuing education requirements as well as those established by The Squad’s Training Unit.

Although members of these units have full police powers while on duty, they always work in conjunction with a full time deputy or law enforcement officer.  Their role is that of a support officer, assisting the full time deputy or officer with the performance of their duties.
