Many people often assume that local police departments or municipalities receive some or all of the monies collected from traffic fines.  The Town of Hampden and/or the Hampden Public Safety Department does not benefit in any way from Violations Bureau fines. We have no input or control over the fine amounts. You may rest assured that the traffic enforcement conducted in Hampden is based entirely on our concern for public safety.
