Motorcycle HVE Patrols must take place Friday, Saturday, or Sunday during the It's a Fine Line campaign, however the local Traffic Safety Task Force can request to conduct patrols during other days in the week if data shows the need for this or for special events.These requests must be sent to Mark Medalen via email (mmedalen@wtsc.wa.gov) at least one week in advance of the proposed event. During special events, patrols should be scheduled during the dates of the event and could start one day before the official event start date and end one day after the official event end date. Other Considerations, Exceptions,And Notes Regarding HVE Events Maximizing contacts: Participating law enforcement officers should make as many contacts as they can during their patrol in the spirit of changing driving behavior. Active, visible, consistent, and targeted traffic law enforcement has an impact on helping to modify driver behavior. A traffic stop affects future driving habits that has a positive influence on reducing the number and severity of collisions. People believe what they hear from each other and it influences what they do. Traffic stops act as a deterrent to risky driving behavior.This strategy has three primary purposes that traffic stops achieve: • The first purpose is to stop a violation of the law for public safety. Officers will accomplish this purpose merely by stopping vehicles. • The second purpose of the stop is to serve as a general deterrent to other drivers. Officers' visible presence with a vehicle at the roadside has this symbolic effect on other drivers. • Finally,the third purpose is to change the drivers'future driving behavior. Process Measures • Percent of officers that receive a briefing prior to HVE events. • Percent of HVE activity logs with a start date and end date/time within prescribed campaign windows. • Percent of stops resulting in an infraction or citations issued for high-risk behaviors including but not limited to impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, and aggressive driving. Objectives and Requirements for Impaired Driving HVE Patrols 1. SUB-RECIPIENT will implement a data driven, sustained enforcement and education efforts. a. Use local traffic crash data and any other useful data to identify the locations where the enforcement patrols should occur. b. Education and local media efforts should incorporate a Positive Community Norms approach with the desired outcome of influencing drivers with the highest potential of causing traffic crashes.
