Broward County is located on the East Coast of Florida above Miami-Dade. The main law enforcement agency is the Broward County Sheriffs Office, although the county has many local law enforcement agenices as well. These agencies are responsible for enforcing criminal and traffic laws within the county. The local municipal police agencies include: Coconut Creek, Cooper City, Coral Springs, Davie, Ft. Lauderdale, Hallandale, Hillsboro Beach, Hollywood, Lauderhill, Lighthouse, Margate, Miramar, North Lauderdale, Oakland Park, Pembroke Pines, Plantation, Pompano Beach, Sea Ranch Lakes, Sunrise, and Wilton Manors.
All of these agencies, along with the Florida Highway Patrol, arrested over 5,000 people for DUI in 2007. Aside from DUI, law enforcement in Broward County issued over 36,000 citations for driving while license suspended or no valid drivers license. That number represents over half of all criminal citations issued within the county on a yearly basis.
Aside from criminal violations, the police in Broward County consistently issue over 300,000 civil infractions anually. Of those, usually one-third are for unlawful speed. That equates to a lot of money in the coffers of the state and local government.
