    Division of Governmental Studies and Services Division of Governmental Studies and Services Final Report June 30, 2016 Montana Highway Patrol MHP Traffic Stop Data Analysis Michael Gaffney, J.D. 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.

  • Wyoming Highway Patrol to Participate in New Year's Eve
    News Release Date: December 28th, 2020 Title: Wyoming Highway Patrol to Participate in New Year’s Eve Safety Initiative City: Statewide Narrative: The Western States Traffic Safety Coalition (WSTSC) will initiate a special effort this New Year’s Eve to ensure the dangerous driver behaviors of impaired drivers have no place to hide from the vigilance of their officers/ troopers. The “Coalition” is made up of 11 states that include the Arizona Department of Public Safety, California Highway Patrol, Colorado State Patrol, Idaho State Police, Montana Highway Patrol, Nevada Highway Patrol, Oregon State Police, South Dakota Highway Patrol, Utah Highway Patrol, Washington State Patrol, and the Wyoming Highway Patrol. These law enforcement agencies that make up the WSTSC are committed and unified to keeping the people of their communities’ safe during this holiday. Even during this COVID 19 national health emergency some may feel New Year’s Eve is the ultimate party night and engage in risky driving behavior, but police will be alert throughout the Western region for impaired drivers. Impaired driving has a devastating impact on the quality of life for those in all communities. Assertive traffic law enforcement activity with a targeted public safety focus is the purpose of this partnership. Nationally, over the past five years, an average of 300 people have died in impaired driving crashes the week between Christmas and New Year. Last year, there were 10,142 people killed nationwide in impaired driving crashes accounting for nearly one-third of the yearly driving fatalities. These deaths are 100% preventable. The tragedy of these deaths is felt year-round, but for many, most strongly during the holidays.
