When the local police in this sleepy college town aren’t shaking door knobs and answering alarm calls they are enjoying their favorite past time – writing tickets. The speed limit in town does not go above 35 mph. Enforcement of the speed limit and any other minor infractions can be quite rigorous. I believe that the police in this town are competent in their jobs but do have a "Napoleon Complex" since their calls for service are low and it leaves a lot of time to write citations. The Town of Davidson is small and is known as a great place for older officers to prepare for retirement and relax. Checkpoints are not uncommon either, especially on the I-77 exit ramp by Griffith Street, or the cut through road between Griffith Street and Hwy 115 that goes over the RR tracks.
