The Traffic Unit is one of the most visible parts of the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. The members are regularly honored for their achievements and traditionally rank high in the annual Chief Challenge Competition and the MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Awards, which single out agencies in Florida whose Traffic Units save lives through enforcement, education, and innovation. These dedicated deputies strive to be the best in their field and continuously train in and out of the classroom to stay current on the most innovative crash investigation techniques and enforcement methods.

TDC students are required to have a valid Florida Learner’s Permit or a Florida Operator’s License and have the use of the automobile they usually operate.
