It is our intent to continue to be diligent in enforcement and educational campaign as they relate to traffic safety. We have outiined strategic plans £or the reduction of crashes, community involvement, our successes and concerns from previous Safe & Sober participation and some creative ideas to address problem unique to our city. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 651-292-3722. Sincerely, �� �� ��� William K. Finney CHIEF QF POLICE William Martinez CommanderlTraffic Unit AA-P.DA-EEO Empioyer ,, : S'aint Paul is the capitol city of Miimesota consisting of 900 miles o£ streets and roadways. Saint Paul is truly a big city with small town charfn. The quaint neighborhoods and family values aze the comerstones of this wonderful city. Art, museums, and many historical landmazks make Saint ��_d-SD Paul a cultural hot spot. . According to the 2000 census the city's population is approximately 283,000 making it the second largest city in Minnesota. We have seventeen neighborhoods and neighborhood councils. Annuallp, 1.5 million non-business visitors come to Saint Pau1 to visit the Science vluseum, Ordway �Iusic Theatre, the National Hockey League's �nnesota �Yild and the A�linnesata State H�igh School Toumaments at the new RiverCentre :�rena. We are also host of two o£ the largest festivals in tYae nation, The Taste of Minnesota and the Viinnesota State Fair. Crash Reduction Plan: Education-Enforcement-En�neering The 3 E's In evaluating our crash data we had eleven crashes resuiting ua fatalities in 2002 compared to fifteen in 200L Personal injury crashes were also down slightly in 2001. Some of the challenges in addressing these concerns continues to be our diverse community. We have large Southeast Asian and Latino communities and with many of our residents English proficiency is limited. In last year proposal we mentioned the need to address these concem with our 3 E's reduction plan. The U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Admuustration (i�-ITA) published an article this year on the Latino Community experiencing a high number of fatalities. In fact, the number one cause of death for Latino ages 1- 34 was traffic relaYed death, due in part, to lack of seatbeit use. Armed with this information we targeted the Latino and Southeasz Asian Communities during Wave 4 of Safe and Sober. Our pre survey indicated 73.8% usage our Post survey resulted in 79°/o and increase of over 5%. We feei this was a success and we'll continue these efforts. We also plan to continue our relationship with social service agencies in our communities to assist us with bi-lingual translation of traffic safety material and in conducting workshop in the azeas of alcohol awareness, seatbett restraints for adultslchildren and a�gressive driving. We have previously worked with these agencies and they have been receptive to these new Safe & Sober ini2iatives. Two of the agencies Hmong American Partnership (HAP)and Chicanos Latinos LTnidos en Servicio (CLiTES} have assisted translation of Safe & Sober materials. William Yang the Director of HAP has met with us we plan to conduct the workshops in the Asian community with the heIp of a translator they will provide. Our enforcement activiry starts with proper training. As the Saint Paul Police Department (SPPD) department continues to transition with younger less experienced officers we have placed a stzon� emphasis on training. SPPD has hired several hundred new officers in the last four years and a minimum of twenty four hours is devoted to Field Sobriety Testing (FST), DUI Enforcement, DUI report writing and Occupani Protection. This year we were able to get four officers certified as Level 3 Tectmicians in Child Passenger Safety Restraint. The third Wednesday of every month these of�icers work with the Minnesota Safety Council and Saint Paul Fire Department and conduct Child Restraint inspections at our Fire Departmern trauiing facility AA-ADA-EEO Emp4oyer In the Traffic Unit, in addition to Safe and Sober initiatives we were able to secure additionai funding and we conducted a Remove Iznpaaied Drivers (RID) progtam in our city. We are � a, _ rS0 currently working on a Shift E�ension Project (Operation STEP) with the 1�linneapolis Police, Ivfinnesota State Patroi targeting impaired drivers. .• Another aspect of traffic safety is Pedestrian and Crosswalks Safety. The St. Paul Police Department, along with the various distsict council representatives, have been working on this issue. In 2001, the traffic unit and central district o�cers partnered with District 4 Neighborhood Council and members from the westside. We worked in promoting and gaining campliance of the pedesirian crosswaik laws. The plan was to walk through several marked and unznazked crosswalk intersections on the westside and take enforcement action when appropriate and also use it as an opporiunity to educate the driving public. Because of the success of that program we were able to secure additional �ant fund specially targeted at pedestrian safery. We will take these initiative city wide. As you can see Saint Paul takes traffic safety seriously. With the help of Safe and Sober and additional partnerships we have developed with the community we can sirive to make Saint Paul a traffic safe city.
