The Upland Traffic Division is chartered for up to six motorcycle police officers and one Traffic Sergeant.  Prior to being assigned to the motor unit, each member must pass an internal testing process and a state certified motor officer course.  Once selected for the motor officer position, each officer will serve in that capacity for a six year period.

The traffic officers are responsible for monitoring the over 200 miles of streets and highways within the City boundaries.   Traffic officers primarily include educating the public on traffic safety, enforcing traffic violations and investigating traffic collisions.
