Managing Police Traffic Services
- The cause and effect of the destruction, injury, death and economic loss in America may surprise you.
- It is not crime, war or even terrorism, but something that goes on daily relatively unnoticed. Traffic Crashes!
- In addition to causing physical trauma and property damage, traffic crashes drain a jurisdiction’s most precious citizen and first responder resource: uncommitted time.
- For law enforcement, uncommitted time means the ability to patrol proactively as opposed to being anchored at a fixed location during a crash response.
- For Fire/EMS, uncommitted time means increased availability for calls for service. For citizens, travel delays caused by crashes reduce quality-of-life.
- Crashes are preventable, and first responder time and resources expended in responding to crashes can be recovered through strategic planning and tactical operations.
- Unprofessional vehicle stops are one of the largest sources of citizen complaints against law enforcement.
- Law enforcement agencies spend very little time teaching patrol officers the how’s and whys of handling contacts with the motoring public.
- Vehicle law enforcement is one of the few proactive approaches to solving the crash and crime
- This training is designed to assist agencies on how to manage and train the street level officer to engage in law enforcement by conducting safe, sound and professional vehicle stops.
- Training time 6 - 8 Hours

What the Public Expects from Emergency Services Video
Data Informed Community Engagement & Data Based Enforcement
- It is estimated over 42,000 Americans were killed on the highways and byways of America in 2020. Interestingly enough our country was in COVID lockdown.
- With calls for police reform, cutting budgets and defunding law enforcement all together, many agencies have decided vehicle enforcement units will be deleted and the role absorbed by patrol.
- Society rarely concerns themselves with the cause and effect of vehicle crashes.
- The sensationalism of a pandemic, gun violence and terrorism receive the most media attention when the real killer continues relatively unnoticed.
- Traffic enforcement is viewed by the law enforcement community as “Not Real Police Work”. SWAT and Gang units train and deploy in circumstances that warrant response, where special investigators, Burglary, Sexual Assault, and Homicide, work to solve crimes. All of which are reactive.
- The sad truth is more citizens are effected by crashes from aggressive and distracted driving,
- Vehicle stops are the only proactive law enforcement effort. Violators, drugs, guns, illegal money and criminals are apprehended using the vehicle / driver engagement.
- This seminar stresses the importance of continuing vehicle enforcement.
- Data Informed Community Engagement and Data Based Enforcement are operational models designed to marry the investigators, SWAT and Gang Units with the problem of citizens being injured or killed in the community in traffic crashes.
- These models have proven effective with every agency that deployed the principals. Most see a reduction of calls for service, violent and property crime as well as crashes in the first year.
- The philosophies use recent crime and crash data to provide a strategic approach and guidance for resource efficiency of the agency.
