Vancouver Police Offers New
Hotline for Traffic Complaints
V ancouver resid en ts can
now leave a recorded message
about a specific traffic co n
cern through the Traffic C om
p lain t H o tlin e, run by the
Vancouver Police Department.
The num ber to call is 360-619-
4101.
“C itizens utilizing the traf
fic hotline will not only help
the traffic division effectively
deal with traffic com plaints in
a timely m anner, it will also
allow us to analyze the statis-
tics to target high com plaint a r
eas which can then be worked
on a regular basis,” said Sgt.
Tim Kim, who supervises the
V ancouver Police D epartm ent
traffic unit.
When calling the hotline, citi

•
Leave a detailed descrip

•
Provide information about
the exact the location where
the traffic problem occurred;

Include information about the
time of day they noticed the

an important piece of the
problem-solving process.
The Traffic Complaint Hotline

can then be assigned, tracked,
logged and followed-up on in a
much more efficient and profes
sional manner.
