This 1988-89 Annual Report summarizes the programs, goals, and achievements of the Colorado State Patrol for this past year. This report marks the first year in a series for positive changes in the format and graphics of the document. Due to the diversity of geographic and demographic regions in Colorado, accomplishments of each field district will be featured annually. Although state-wide fatalities increased in calendar year 1989 over 1988, we are holding the line on fatal accidents investigated by the Patrol. Our success resulted from our proven technique of identifying and targeting high accident-causing violations and locations and applying available resources to solve the problems. The Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program has accomplished greater levels of compliance resulting in fewer heavy vehicle accidents.

Since 1979, the Colorado State Patrol has operated under a Management by Objectives program. All levels of the Patrol are involved in the process, with top managers setting broad goals for the organization, middle managers developing the criteria, and first line supervisors working directly with their subordinates to set and achieve objectives at the troop level, based on available resources. In fiscal year 1988-1989, the Patrol was suc­ cessful in achieving its objective on the majority of the items.
