Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP)
In 2004 and 2006 The Greenwich Police Department conducted a Residents' Survey, which identified traffic issues as a major concern for residents throughout the Town of Greenwich. In an effort to address these traffic issues, the Greenwich Police Department Traffic Section initiated the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program, better known as STEP, to target specific areas throughout the Town of Greenwich having the highest incidence of collisions.
