Pros: Very cost effective. You would need less buildings, less support staff, less command staff, ect. Cons: Less positive community interaction with the police department.

Pros and Cons of Police Traffic Function?
I guess the most important reason to investigate a traffic crash is because a traffic crash is a crime and there is a victim. The advantage is to help the victim, by requiring the person who broke the law to pay for the damages. Roughly 35,000 people a year are killed in traffic crashes. The majority of the at fault drivers are drunk/high and/or speeding. No known disadvantages The traffic enforcement function fulfills the needs of the community for law enforcement. The traffic function takes the place today of broken windows policing. (if the police can enforce the minor rules, then more people will obey the major rules) Communities with strict traffic enforcement have lower crime rates than cities without. The traffic unit will typically arrest more felons than all of the other law enforcement units (including SWAT and major crimes). As you can imagine a person who won't obey the law for murder certainly won't obey traffic laws. When they are stopped for traffic violations the traffic officer may find they have a warrant or may observe clues of a crime. Some of the more important criminals caught by traffic officers include; Tim McVeigh, Ted Bundy, Mohamed Atta (sadly not arrested because the computer was down that showed he had a warrant) etc.
