High Visibility Education and Enforcement
As part of a continued focus on enhancing traffic safety and reducing fatal crashes nationwide, the IACP, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Governors Highway Safety Association, and other partners created the High-Visibility Education and Enforcement (HVEE) pilot program. Four states participated in the pilot program: Delaware, Maryland, North Caroline, and Wisconsin.
The pilot program focused on using federal and state crash data and leveraging partnerships to respond to a particular traffic challenge in each area. Representatives from state and local law enforcement, state highway safety offices, and other public and private stakeholders, partnered with IACP staff to look at NHTSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data and state crash data to determine their topic of focus for the pilot. Each group collected promising practices and lessons learned, focusing on officer safety while conducting traffic enforcement and highlighting the importance of engaging stakeholders and community members. The campaigns began in November 2015 and ended in early February 2016.
Articles, information, and additional resources from each of the pilot sites, as well as general resources from the IACP, can be found below.
