They conduct many traffic stops, mostly for speeding. The speed limit does not exceed 65 miles per hour. Motorists clocked in the 80 mph range run a high risk of being pulled over. Traffic stops are also initiated on local village streets. Most traffic patrol within the village proper is conducted by officers of the Herkimer Village Police Department.
