LAKE HAVASU CITY — The Lake Havasu City Police Department was awarded a grant in the amount of $27,163.00 from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) for conducting increased traffic enforcement operations and providing officers with additional equipment for enhanced traffic enforcement and accident investigation. This is for the 2025-2026 federal fiscal year, which runs from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026.
The Selective Traffic Enforcement Program, or S.T.E.P. Grant, totaling $27,163.00, enables the Lake Havasu City Police Department to increase its traffic enforcement capabilities by assigning personnel on overtime to concentrate on speed enforcement activities with the use of directional radar devices. This also includes the addition of portable breath test instruments and accident investigation equipment.
The goal is to reduce the number of speeding-related crashes, traffic fatalities, and injuries resulting from speeding, aggressive driving, red-light running, and other forms of risky driving behavior.
The Lake Havasu City Police Department looks to make our community streets safer for all motorists through enforcement, education, and public awareness. Traffic safety is one of the most frequent concerns the police department hears from the community.
As part of the grant safety contract, the police department is required to maintain and submit statistics to the GOHS on a regular basis.
