The biggest change on city streets was the Manteca Police traffic division.
For the first 11 months of 2020 the unit that was up to its same strength with five assigned officers that were in place before budget cuts hit in 2009 issued 2,194 tickets for moving violations. Moving violations are the most egregious traffic violations that have a direct impact on accidents speeding, failing to yield, running red lights and rolling through stop signs.
There was a trade-off even with five motorcycle officers. While moving violation tickets were up 54.51 percent from the 1,420 issued in 2019, non-moving violation tickets dropped 33.81 percent going from 1,719 in 2019 to 1,151 in 2020. That said reducing moving violations are considered key to reducing accidents.
