If your driver's license is being returned to you with a citation, the information on this page will explain how the S.T.O.P. Program works and if you are eligible. Though not a pleasant experience, the issuing of citations is a necessary step in enforcement efforts to reduce traffic accidents, deaths and injuries.
Most drivers know they are driving illegally when they are stopped.
However, no one likes to receive a ticket, and when it happens the recipient may harbor resentment toward the officer who issued the citation. In these cases, it is important to remember that the officers are only doing their-job, and may be saving a life. When you disobey traffic laws, you endanger yourself as well as other motorists, passengers and pedestrians. It is the duty of our officers to monitor motorists and issue citations to those driving improperly, no matter how unpopular this action may be. We hope this citation will encourage you to drive responsibly.
