New traffic initiative deploys camera-equipped vans to curb speeding and improve street safety across the city
GREELEY, Colo. – To address community concerns about excessive speeding and dangerous driving, the Greeley Police Department, in collaboration with the City of Greeley, will launch a mobile photo speed safety program beginning May 14.
The initiative will deploy two minivans outfitted with advanced camera systems to monitor and capture real-time speeding violations in high-risk areas throughout Greeley. The vehicles, operated in partnership with Verra Mobility, are designed to support law enforcement in improving driver behavior and reducing traffic-related incidents.
The program starts with a 30-day warning period in which violators will receive warnings rather than fines. On June 13, enforcement will begin in full, with speeding citations issued to vehicle owners after law enforcement verifies recorded violations. Fines will range from $40 in non-school zones to $80 in school or active construction zones.
Commander Mike Heck of the Greeley Police Department emphasized that the program is rooted in community feedback: “After extensive research, we are excited to implement the mobile speed photo safety program to help improve quality of life issues throughout the City of Greeley by increasing traffic safety.”
Law enforcement officers will continue to review all photo evidence before issuing citations to ensure accuracy and fairness. The program is part of a broader effort to enhance public safety and reduce preventable accidents in Northern Colorado communities.
Contact Commander Mike Heck at (970) 350-9617 for questions or additional information.
