CPO is responsible for traffic enforcement within the City of Clearwater. Consistently, when CPO conducts its Citizen Satisfaction Survey, Clearwater residents cite traffic as one of their top concerns. In year I of the grant, CPO focused primarily on red light enforcement at four high-crash intersections. In year II of the grant, CPO will respond to public demand and expand its enhanced enforcement of all traffic laws citywide. Problem Significance In Clearwater traffic violations are increasing as traffic congestion and the frustration that goes with it also increase. Unfortunately, red light running is only one part of the problem. Other traffic violations that contribute to the overall traffic problem in Clearwater include behaviors such as aggressive driving and speeding. Neighborhood concerns can range from a stop sign that is consistently being ignored by motorists to commuters speeding through a residential area asa shortcut to work. These are the types of traffic concerns that Clearwater will address in year II of the grant project utilizing the digital camera technology. Speeding According to a 2002 study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately three-quarters of the participating drivers admitted that they had driven over the speed limit on all types of roads within the previous month. In fact, a majority of all drivers of all ages admitted to speeding. Interestingly, 68% of the drivers in this study felt that other drivers' speeding was a major threat to their own personal safety. More than three-quarters of drivers felt that it is at least "somewhat important" that something be done to reduce speeding on all road types. Speeding is defined by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as "speed too fast for conditions or in excess of the posted limit." Speeding occurs daily on every road in the United States, but the consequences of speeding are much more serious on some roadways than on others. Application Ref # Contract 2008-JAGC-798 -JAGC-PINE- - - Section #2 Page 1 of 5 Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County-wide According to FHWA, despite their low traffic volume, almost half of all speeding fatalities occur on local and collector roads -- low speed roads found in residential and business areas. Local and collector roads in America have a speeding fatality rate almost triple that of the Interstate highways. Collector and local roadways are designed to provide more land access and lesser mobility. They may have sharp curves, steeper grades, and sight restrictions. The local road may also be shared by a high concentration of children and adult pedestrians, bicyclists, and an older user population. Collector and local roads make up the overwhelming majority of Clearwater's roadways. A June 2005 NHTSA report entitled Analysis of Speeding-Related Fatal Motor Vehicle Traffic Crashes reported that 13,713 fatalities -- about one-third of all fatalities that occurred in motor vehicle traffic crashes -- were speeding related. NHTSA reports that the economic cost to society of speeding-related crashes is estimated to be $27.7 billion annually. Aggressive Driving The definition of aggressive driving can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some examples of what is generally recognized as aggressive driving are: speeding up to yellow; improper lane change or weaving; closing the gap to prevent entry; threatening or insulting by yelling, gesturing, honking repeatedly; tailgating to punish or coerce; cutting off to retaliate; pointing a gun or shooting; and assaulting with the car or battering object. According to NHTSA, drivers believe that others are driving more aggressively now than in the past. In a telephone survey of 6,000 drivers, sixteen years of age and older, more than 60 percent of the drivers interviewed believed that unsafe driving by others was a major personal threat to them and their families. Three out of four drivers felt that doing something about unsafe driving was "very important." NHTSA reports about 66 percent of all traffic fatalities annually are caused by aggressive driving behaviors, such as passing on the right, running red lights and tailgating. The cost of aggressive driving is immense. Over the past decade, aggressive driving has killed an average of 1,500 people each year, injured another 800,000 and cost the country roughly $24 billion in medical costs, property damage and lost time from work. (Source: USA Today) Needs Assessment For three consecutive years, four of the top five intersections for traffic crashes were located in Clearwater: U.S. 19 and SR. 60; U.S. 19 and Drew St.; U.S. 19 and Sunset Point Rd.; and, S.R. 60 and Belcher Rd. These intersections will continue to be monitored with enhanced enforcement using the digital in-car cameras, but now the project will go citywide. This means that all red light runners at any intersection in the City of Clearwater may find themselves on camera and facing a citation. Since the project began in January 2007, 550 red light citations have been issued at these four high crash intersections while the Traffic Enforcement Team was conducting the Red Light Running enforcement details. Application Ref # Contract 2008-JAGC-798 -JAGC-PINE- -- Section #2 Page 2 of 5 Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County-wide As had been anticipated, the digital cameras have led to a savings in police officer court time, as most violators, when faced with the irrefutable video evidence that they had indeed run the red light, opted not to fight the ticket in court and simply paid the fine. Project Summary The Clearwater Police Department (CPD) is seeking funds for the purchase of 5 in-car digital video cameras to be installed in designated assigned patrol cars; additional memory for the server purchased during year I of the project; and necessary corresponding installation costs. CPD will install the in-car digital video cameras in designated patrol cars that have been assigned to a specific officer who will be trained in the use of the camera and responsible for the equipment and vehicle. These officers will utilize the in-car cameras to perform enhanced traffic enforcement during various shifts (day/night) throughout the City of Clearwater. Project Goals CPD's goal for this particular project is to increase traffic citations overall citywide by the 5 assigned officers by 10% by September 30, 2008, for all traffic violations occurring within the City of Clearwater, including -- but not limited to -- red light running, aggressive driving, and speeding. Project Staff Lt. Nancy Miller, Section Commander, Traffic Enforcement Section Sgt. Richard Harris, Traffic Enforcement Supervisor, Traffic Enforcement Team 5 designated Patrol Officers Project Equipment CPD seeks grant funding for the purchase of 5 in-car digital video cameras for designated patrol vehicles; additional memory for the project server; and necessary corresponding installation costs. Project Activities/Administration Clearwater proposes to use grant funding to expand its successful Red Light Running In-Car Video Enhancement Project by purchasing and installing 5 additional digital video cameras that will capture traffic violations throughout the City of Clearwater on digital video. This enhanced enforcement will be accompanied by the same public education that was provided in year I of the grant, including the placement of electronic signboards, distribution of educational literature, and at least one episode of Blueline CPD. Enforcement: Traffic enforcement has always been a priority for CPD. Always responsive to the demands of the residents whom they serve, Clearwater police are now looking to address the constant complaints received about traffic in their jurisdiction. CPD conducts a customer satisfaction survey to solicit input regarding how well it is doing its job and what problems may need increased attention. In each and every survey, Clearwater Application Ref # Contract 2008-JAGC-798 -JAGC-PINE- - - Section #2 Page 3 of 5 Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County-wide residents have repeatedly complained about traffic problems. This project is a response to those concerns. Last year, Clearwater implemented the Red Light Running In-Car Video Enhancement Project in an attempt to reduce the number of crashes at four designated intersections. Using in-car digital video cameras that captured the actual violation on video, CPO's Traffic Team sent a very clear message to the public about the hazards of running a red light in Clearwater. As expected, the cameras have proven to be a very effective tool for enforcing red light violations. Based on that success, CPO now plans to expand the use of the cameras citywide by adding an additional 5 cameras to assigned cruisers. CPO's Traffic Enforcement Commander, Lt. Nancy Miller, will select 5 regular patrol officers to take part in the project. These officers will each have a specific assigned patrol car so that they will be exclusively responsible for the camera. This procedure will also limit the expense of the number of officers who must be specially trained in the use of the camera equipment. Once the cameras have been installed and the officers trained, they will be freed up from their regular calls -- at Lt. Miller's direction -- to focus solely on the enforcement of traffic violations. These officers will be working in various locations, at various times during the day/night, throughout the City of Clearwater, looking for a variety of violations, including aggressive driving, speeding, and red light running. As in the first year of the grant, the in-car video cameras will be activated when the police officer turns on his emergency equipment. The cameras will be programmed so that they will record the previous 30 seconds of observed activity to actually document the violation observed by the officer. Just as the officer was able to observe a red light running infraction and record it, now the officer will do the same when he/she observes someone running a stop sign, making an obscene/threatening gesture to another motorist, weaving erratically from lane to lane, or tailgating. The officer can also leave the camera running for a longer period of time to record an ongoing violation. The cameras also have the capability of recording the speed of vehicles on the road, so they will be very effective in capturing speeding violations as they occur. Once again, the cameras will prove very useful when a motorist is stopped for a violation that he/she denies committing, because CPO will now have digital video evidence proving that the violation actually did take place. . The cameras and the evidence that they will produce will make convictions of traffic violations much easier to obtain in the courts. The cameras will most likely continue to lead to reduced costs for police officer time in court, as it is anticipated many motorists -- when faced with their violation actually captured on video -- will opt not to argue their case in court and will simply pay the ticket. Most importantly, it is anticipated that the in-car digital video cameras will lead to an overall reduction in traffic violations throughout the City of Clearwater. An additional benefit of the cameras will also be that suspects who are placed in the rear seat of the cruiser will be recorded, both orally and visually. This could also provide unexpected evidence being produced by suspects who may discuss their criminal activity while in the rear of the cruiser, unaware that the video camera is recording their conversation. Application Ref # Contract 2008-JAGC-798 -JAGC-PINE- - - Section #2 Page 4 of 5 Application for Funding Assistance Florida Department of Law Enforcement Justice Assistance Grant - County-wide Education: Clearwater will continue to utilize the same public information and educational tools to get the message out about enhanced traffic enforcement in Clearwater, including the following: . News releases will be sent out to the media, including local Spanish language television and radio stations. . The Police Department will also utilize its own cable access television station to publicize the project on BlueLine CPO, an interactive community policing show that informs the public about police activities. . Electronic sign boards will be located throughout the City of Clearwater to warn the public about the enhanced traffic enforcement. . Bilingual, educational brochures on red light running, aggressive driving, speeding, etc. will be distributed throughout the City at various events and locations (City recreation centers, libraries, Hispanic Outreach Center). Target Groups, Clients and Participants Because the end result of the Red Light Running In-Car Video Enhancement Project II will be a safer Clearwater, all motorists and pedestrians, including residents and visitors, who travel the roadways of the City of Clearwater will be the beneficiaries of this project. Administration and Location Administration of the program will be through the Traffic Enforcement Section, Patrol Division of CPO, which is housed at the Department's main headquarters at 645 Pierce Street, Clearwater, FL. The grant activities will be coordinated from this central location and supervised by Sergeant Richard Harris, and his supervisor, Lt. Nancy Miller. Most of the actual grant activities will be performed by the 5 patrol officers and will take place in the community "on the road," citywide. Project Results The results of the project will be measured by comparing baseline citation statistics and the number of citations issued by the assigned officers during the grant period to determine if the program is having the intended impact.
