DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) -- The Dayton Police Department said it’s gearing up to come down harder on traffic enforcement.

The department will also use traffic complaints and data to determine locations to post officers, some of whom will be armed with “photo guns.” While not a new technology, drivers could expect to see more of them in use, especially around the I-75 and US-35 interchange.
