California Highway Patrol s History with IACP Highway Safety Committee: National Law Enforcement Challenge Subcommittee (NLEC) Enforcement Technologies Advisory Technical Subcommittee (ETATS) Traffic Incident Management Subcommittee (TIM) Traffic Officer Safety Subcommittee (TOSS) Technical Advisory Panel (TAP)
California Highway Patrol s History with the NLEC In 2001, the CHP first participated in the National Chiefs Challenge. The CHP saw the Challenge as an opportunity to: o Showcase our successes. o Share our traffic safety programs with law enforcement agencies nationwide.
Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System The CHP is responsible for reporting and maintaining California s traffic collision database, including: Fatal Injury, and Property-damage-only traffic collisions.
California Law Enforcement Challenge In 2003, the CHP, in partnership with the California Office of Traffic Safety, hosted the first California Law Enforcement Challenge.
Expansion of the California Law Enforcement Challenge In addition to municipal police departments and sheriff s offices, today we have a variety of participating agencies, including: Unified School Districts Tribal Organizations Military Police
California Law Enforcement Challenge Submission Process To promote the national program and for consistency, the CHP requires all California Law Enforcement Challenge participants to submit their application to the National Law Enforcement Challenge.
Recognition of Excellence Last year, the CHP in partnership with the California Office of Traffic Safety recognized 18 agencies located throughout California for their excellence in traffic safety.
Developing a Statewide Challenge Because each and every one of us shares the same ultimate goal to save lives.

Mission Statement: To serve, secure, and protect the people of Tennessee. Vision Statement: To be a national leader in best practices that enhance public safety and customer service.
THP wanted to gain national recognition to showcase and highlight the efforts, achievements, and accomplishments of our Troopers in making the great state of Tennessee a safer place. The Tennessee Highway Patrol has been participating in the National Law Enforcement Challenge since 2004.

The Law Enforcement Challenge has helped our Department improve our data collection and data usage in areas that in the past were very challenging. In the past, we had to rely on knowledge and experience to focus our enforcement campaigns. Now we are one of the few state law enforcement agencies to utilize predictive analytics to predict fatal and injury, and DUI crash risk locations. This data driven approach allows our agency to target specific high risk areas and maximize the effectiveness of our current manpower. Likewise, historically our checkpoint activity data was difficult to compile. Now we collect it through SharePoint, and reports can easily be generated and data queried for such things as court documentation, grant reporting requirements, and government and public requests.

The Law Enforcement Challenge has helped us to continue to strive as a Department for new and innovative ways to enforce traffic safety laws with positive results. Being an active participant, we get to see what initiatives other states have implemented into their community that we can use to benefit us in our enforcement efforts. This reinforces our efforts to set high standards and goals toward public safety.
The Law Enforcement Challenge motivates us to strive for new initiatives in public safety with a healthy dose of high standards and goals. In 2014, Commissioner Bill Gibbons along with Colonel Tracy Trott and the Department s Command Staff created a new safety campaign, Drive to Zero Fatalities. This has been our theme for each year in cooperation with 48 other state police and highway patrol organizations. We have also called on our partners in local law enforcement to assist us. Our goal is to reduce fatalities 2% in Tennessee this year. We are currently down 15% in fatalities and we are constantly looking for opportunities to further reduce fatalities.
Causes each agency to conduct an internal review of their traffic safety programs by providing examples related to: Problem Identification Policies Planning Training Public Information & Education Enforcement Outcomes
Share and Learn Best Practices from Other Agencies There is no need to reinvent the wheel Obtain National Recognition for Agency and Officer Efforts Provides an opportunity for each agency to get their message out to the public
