WHEREAS, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) collects data on law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty; and

WHEREAS, a significant number of law enforcement officers are killed each year during motor vehicle crashes; and

WHEREAS, the data collected on these types of deaths is insufficient for a comprehensive analysis and subsequent review of policies and procedures; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the FBI, after collaboration with the IACP’s Highway Safety Committee and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), collect additional data concerning the deaths of law enforcement officers involved in roadside traffic and commercial vehicle enforcement, commercial vehicle inspections, and other highway incidents; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the collected data be analyzed by NHTSA or its contractee; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the data analysis be provided to the IACP’s Highway Safety Committee for consideration in revising the Manual of Police Traffic Services Policies and Procedures, the Highway Safety Desk Book, and the Traffic Safety Strategies for Law Enforcement Executives.
