Road Policing and Traffic Safety Resource Page

Traffic-related fatalities are annually ranked as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The traffic safety initiatives of the IACP are designed to provide resources, guidance, and best practices to the law enforcement community, in an effort to help prevent future loss of life on our roadways and to improve the overall quality of life in our communities. 

The IACP's traffic safety portfolio includes collecting promising practices on a variety of road safety issues and programs that address topics such as the safe, quick clearance of traffic incidents, distracted driving, global policing, speed enforcement, traffic officer safety, commercial vehicles, and other contemporary traffic safety issues.
