Traffic Watch

A Partnership to Road Safety

Traffic Watch is a partnership approach with the public to improve driver behaviour, reducing the number of road collisions and fatalities.

Members of the public can report non-emergency traffic-related incidents using our online reporting form. These online reports are logged by Garda Staff at the Garda Information Services Centre who then forward the report to the Superintendent in the relevant Community Engagement Area to progress.

The Superintendent will appoint a member of An Garda Síochána to investigate a Traffic Watch complaint. The investigating member makes contact with the complainant to:

  • Establish the complainant's version of events
  • Establish if there are other witnesses to the alleged incident
  • Discuss the possible actions available
  • Take a written statement of complaint

Where, following the investigation, an offence is believed to be disclosed a file is submitted to the Superintendent who will decide what action, if any, is to be taken. 

In all instances the complainant should be notified of the outcome of their complaint.

In an emergency situation members of the public should always call 999/112.
