Practices like multitasking and not wearing seat belts while driving place officers at significantly greater risk, so why do officers to do them? Often, these actions are directly related to organizational culture, training, and peer anecdotes, which can override agency training, policies, and procedures. This presentation will engage participants in a lively discussion about some common misconceptions in law enforcement and draw upon research and instructor testimonials to provide actionable steps attendees and their agencies can take to improve officer safety on the roadways. Attendees will learn about the Peer Accountability for Law Enforcement Safety (PALS) model and how it can be used to promote safe practices while patrolling the roadways. This presentation is provided by the National Law Enforcement Roadway Safety Program (NLERSP), sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
