Most officers, commanders, and risk managers view the police crash as “the cost of doing business” and an anticipated cost of a departmental budget. However, crashes and “traffic incidents” are more than numbers on a page and line-items on a spreadsheet. Officers are killed and seriously injured every day in and around their squad cars. Beyond the Cones examines these phenomenon from both a financial and human perspective. It focuses on solutions to reduce deaths, injuries, and the high cost of property damage.
Topics addressed, include but are not limited to:
- the historical view of police involved crashes
- personal injury consequences
- financial restraints
- the ultimate sacrifice
- outdated vehicle operation training curriculum
- Code 1 or “non-emergency driving.”
- patrol investigational driving
- observational driving
- intersection clearing
- backing, parking, squad positioning
- non-emergency lane use
- police related distractions
- the value of seat belts
