Red Light Photo-Enforcement System

Due to a series of court cases on the State level over the legality of red light camera enforcement, the City of Glendale has voluntarily decided to terminate the program. Although state law continues to allow municipalities the use of cameras to enforce red light violations, as of February 24th, 2012, the Glendale Police Department will no longer issue citations to violators captured on these cameras.
