• Abstract:
  This project evaluated effectiveness of two law enforcement agencies’ use of data-driven approaches to traffic enforcement in Missouri and Oklahoma, supported by community-oriented policing to improve traffic safety and boost community support for traffic law enforcement. One focused on improving seat belt use and the other on reducing alcohol-impaired driving. Both 15-month programs began in 2018. Community-oriented enforcement implemented in these demonstrations was not effective at building community support nor increasing perceived risk of enforcement needed for high-visibility enforcement to be effective.
