The police officers at the PD I work at drop a 20 and run out the door during a meal if they're called to an emergency call. You get fired if you don't be responsible during your shift.
And yes, there are divisions at police departments, specifically a division devoted to traffic violations. A small portion of PDs are devoted to traffic -- the rest are patrol (call-taking and routine patrol). If you're sitting in a speed trap, that's your job. If an officer left the speed trap to go to another call without contacting his superior first, disciplinary action <I>would</I> be taken.
