Traffic fatalities reached a 16-year high in 2021; and the United States has the worst traffic death rate among 29 high-income nations. An effective approach to traffic safety would result in decreased injuries and crashes. Even though the Department of Transportation has adopted a Safe System philosophy, the reporting requirements for federal grants often prioritize enforcement over prevention. With hundreds of millions of dollars in grant funding, DOT significantly shapes how state and municipal agencies prioritize traffic enforcement activities. It is critical that their guidance and Safe Systems approach prioritizes measures to prevent the inherent risk of unsafe driving into DOT grants. In our new white paper co-authored with Center for Policing Equity, we outline six key steps officials can take to truly improve safety outcomes. Read the full report ➡️ tinyurl.com/29asw7tc

Interesting bills coming out of Tennessee regarding school safety! While the media has been focusing on the weapons bill, it's important to note that a bill harshening penalties for making threats to schools is awaiting the Governor's signature. I am not nor have I ever been a proponent of teachers carrying weapons. I believe that teachers should be focused on teaching, not security. It's important to have designated school security or SROs on campus to address issues that might involve a weapon. #SchoolSafety #SchoolSecurity #EducationalLeadership #law https://lnkd.in/g27kFjB5
