  • San Diegd Police Department San Diego, California
    03-35 SAN DIEGD POLICE DEPARTMENT SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA C/5 C 3 5 Project Summary: Drag-Net San Diego Police Department The Problem: Illegal motor vehicle speed contests, commonly known as street races, throughout the City of San Diego. Analysis: Officers developed a knowledge of the street-racing culture through undercover investigations, interviews with officers who had experience dealing with racers, monitoring Internet websites, interviewing racers, and exploring the legal alternatives that are available. Officers studied data on calls for service, traffic collisions, arrests, and citations related to illegal speed contests. Officers established baseline figures to determine the size of the problem. They identified collateral crimes that were occurring because of the problem. The officers set goals of reducing incidents of street racing to a level that it could be managed with existing resources and to reduce the number of illegally modified vehicles on the roadways. The most important analysis the officers made was whether they could impact the problem, despite its magnitude and history of indifference by society. They realized they had to change society's paradigm about street racing. The Drag-Net Officers decided they would only be successful if they truly made San Diego a safer place. They knew lives could be saved if their analysis was accurate, and the response was effective. Response: Officers used a multi-faceted approach in a comprehensive response strategy: • Undercover operations to identify, apprehend, and prosecute racers

  • Traffic Tickets and Other Violations
    TRAFFIC TICKETS AND OTHER VIOLATIONS Receiving a traffic citation can be stressful and intimidating. This section discusses some common concerns regarding traffic citations and other traffic violations. IF YOU ARE STOPPED The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) suggests that drivers turn on their right turn signals immediately after an officer alerts them to pull over. Officers will alert a driver to pull over by turning on flashing lights on their patrol car. The driver should pull over as far to the right as possible, and should proceed in a safe manner. It is important for the driver to stay calm. The DMV recommends that when pulling over, drivers should discontinue cell phone use, turn off the radio, and place both hands on the steering wheel. Placing both hands on the steering wheel will allow the officer to see that the driver is not holding a weapon. Drivers should have their driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance easily accessible to present to an officer during a traffic stop. If the officer issues a citation, the driver does not admit guilt by signing the ticket. Instead, by signing the ticket, the driver promises to appear in court. In many instances, citations can be handled by mail. COURTESY NOTICES The Superior Court of California, County of San Diego – Traffic/Minor Offenses Division has jurisdiction over Vehicle Code infractions occurring in San Diego County. Most traffic citations are based on violations of the Vehicle Code. The court will usually mail a courtesy notice to the driver about two weeks before the court appearance date indicated on the ticket.

Director, Division of Governmental Studies & Services Washington State University Christina Sanders, MPA Associate Director, DGSS Season A. Hoard, Ph.D. Research Coordinator, DGSS John S. Snyder, J.D. Community Outreach Specialist, DGSS 1 Division of Governmental Studies and Services Executive Summary The Division of Governmental Studies and Services (DGSS), jointly sponsored by WSU Extension and the College of Arts and Sciences, has served as a link between Washington State University resources and the population of the Pacific Northwest for over 50 years. DGSS serves the University’s land grant mission through applied social science research, program evaluation, technical assistance and training, which provides University resources for public benefit. Our extensive experience in program evaluation, survey research, data analysis, and community engagement extends to several analyses examining biased policing in the region, with experience analyzing secondary data as well as collecting primary data on this important subject area. The Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) contracted with DGSS for annual assessments of traffic stop data for evidence of biased policing. The contract, executed in January 2016, requires 5 annual assessments of MHP traffic stop data collected from traffic enforcement activities conducted from 2015 to 2019 to assess for possible evidence of systemic bias in the decisions of MHP troopers to stop motorists in the state of Montana. The first analysis, which is the subject of this report, examined all traffic stops occurring from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2014.

  • CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL Corridor Safety Program—A Collaborative Approach to Traffic Safety
    CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL Corridor Safety Program—A Collaborative Approach to Traffic Safety Judge's Commentary The focus of most problem-oriented projects is crime, but it might just as well be any other of the recurring problems dealt with by police. In fact, this year's winner of the Goldstein Award was focused on a traffic problem—a high rate of fatal accidents on a particular stretch of rural highway in California. The projects' novelty was one reason for its selection. Another was that it was focused on an important, life-threaten- ing problem. However, judges liked many other things about the project, including the following: • Scanning was unusually rigorous. The stretch of highway, or corridor, was selected from among 550 qualifying roadway segments on the basis of its high rate of collisions and fatalities during a three-year period.
