The Washington State Patrol uses electronic and laser speed measuring devices (SMD) in its speed enforcement efforts.
The courts of the state of Washington require that speed measuring devices undergo a testing and certification program for accuracy in order for evidence from the devices to be admissible in court proceedings. The WSP maintains a testing and certification program that requires each speed measuring device used by the WSP to be tested and certified for accuracy at least once every two years.
You can search for testing and certification information for all speed measuring devices used by the WSP below.
