Traffic-related fatalities are annually ranked as one of the leading causes of death in many countries around the globe. Many of these crashes are caused by driver-related factors, including speeding, distracted driving, and impairments (such as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs), and many of these crashes are preventable.
The traffic safety initiatives of the IACP are dedicated to addressing common factors that cause these crashes and look to provide guidance, lessons learned and promising practices to law enforcement with the hope to prevent this tragic loss of life.
