Despite speed limits, some motorists fail to pay attention to how fast they're traveling. Such drivers present a hazard to other motorists. The Highland Police Department notes that school zones, bus routes and construction sites require special attention in promoting voluntary compliance with speed limits.

We now have a portable sign designed to be put into your neighborhood to help fight speeding vehicles by showing motorist how fast they are traveling in an effort to slow them down.

See our on-line application to apply for the sign to be put in your neighborhood. It just takes a few minutes to fill out the request form and a reply will be sent to you when the sign will be put in your requested location.

We can all help in controlling speeding vehicles and keeping our neighborhoods free from accidents and other speed related incidents. Please request the sign today on line or stop into the police department and pick up an application.


The Highland Police Department launched a new initiative on March 12th which centers on traffic enforcement. The unit is specifically designed to respond to traffic complaints in neighborhoods where residents are experiencing a problem with motorists committing a variety of infractions not limited to but including; speed infractions, stop sign violations, traffic light violations, violations of the noise ordinance (boom boxes from vehicles), etc. The unit will also be responsible for handling traffic accidents.

Residents may request the unit in their neighborhood by emailing Officer Glenn Cox at, gcox@highland.in.gov or calling and leaving a message at 838-3184 x4093. A response to the resident, if they so wish, will inform them of the action taken during the period of enforcement. Residents may also visit our website www.highlandpolice.com or contact Officer Cox should they wish placement of the Digital Speed Control sign in their neighborhood.
