• Traffic Program principle functions:

- traffic circulation planning

- supervision

- control of motor vehicle traffic

- publication

- enforcement of traffic laws and regulations

- investigations of motor vehicle accidents

Traffic ManagementTraffic Management


(cont.)

What is a traffic control plan?


• Predetermined flow of traffic on the installation – includes the entire road network

• PM has primary staff responsibility for the development of a circulation plan in conjunction with other staff agencies – Safety Officer and Facility Engineer

• Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices must be conformed with


Traffic circulation plan development


• Traffic studies – assists in development of an effective traffic circulation plan, and provides needed data to base management decisions

- Types of studies:

Motor vehicle volume studies – direction, volume, etc.

Origin – Destination studies: travel patterns

Speed studies – adjust speed limits, enforcement

Signal Observance – selective enforcement, physical changes, visibility improvements

Occupancy studies – car pool program? Future public transportation




• Traffic studies – assists in development of an effective traffic circulation plan, and provides needed data to base management decisions

- Types of studies:

Accident records – evaluate roadway design factors

Device studies – effectiveness? ID excessive control measures

Speed delay study

Pedestrian study

Parking study




• Gathering data is only the first step

• Analysis is the most important factor

- Faulty reasoning may lead to: unjustified assumptions concerning cause and effect, making generalizations based on averages, making generalizations based on specific incidents; wasted resources



• What is the role of the Safety Officer?

• What is the role of the Facility Engineer?

• What is the role of the Traffic Engineer?



• Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices

- Assists in planning considerations with respect to the proper type of traffic control device to be used, where it should be used and how constructed



• Implement, Regulate, and Enforce Circulation Plan with:

- Traffic Code – rules will conform to the traffic code of the state where possible, and will be based on appropriate section of the “Uniform Vehicle Code and Model Traffic Ordnance”

- Assimilated Crime Act (local law is adopted to the installation) – used to enforce criminal offenses not in the UCMJ

- DOD Directive 5525.4, Enforcement of state traffic law was established so we can enforce traffic on an installation

- Safety Standards – periodic motor vehicle inspections, motor registration, motorcycle safety, to include eye protection, helmets

- Termination of Registration



• Traffic Mission – implementation of circulation plan and includes :

- Direction and control

- Direction (maps, TCPs, route designation, etc.)

- Control means (access to functional areas, points of egress, providing information)



• Traffic violations (captured on one of 2 forms below), except for felony offenses):

- DD Form 1805, can result in court appearance, fines, and points - MAGISTRATE

- DD Form 1408, points only – COMMANDERS/SUPERVISORS



• Alcohol and Drug Countermeasures:

- Alcohol is involved in many serious traffic accidents

- Detection Phases:

Vehicle in motion – observe vehicle in operation; record!!

Personal contact – observe driver’s exit and walking from the vehicle

Pre-arrest phase – administer structured, formal psychophysical tests – critical, will determine if you arrest the person

- What are the three field sobriety tests commonly used by the military?

- What is one test used by civilian law enforcement agencies?



• Alcohol and Drug Countermeasures:

- Military uses a combination of Administrative and Judicial sanctions

- Implied Consent

- Blood alcohol content (BAC) – evidence breath test based on concentration of alcohol in the blood

- AR 190-5 addresses involuntary extraction of blood – Commanders and Magistrates have the authority to grant involuntary extraction of blood when a person was operating a vehicle involved in a traffic accident, which caused the death, personal injury or serious property damage


• Assist other units in preparing traffic plans for events

• Work orders for traffic control signs and devices

• TCPs and traffic control

• Certify patrols on radar, Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs), traffic laws

Also, see AR 190-5, FM 19-25

FLW’s Traffic SectionFLW’s Traffic Section


• Investigate traffic accidents on the installation– School qualified– Priority to fatalities, government vehicles, and damage

> $1k– Collect physical evidence– Photograph the scene– Interview victims and witnesses– Quality control of minor accidents (investigated by

patrols)

• What is Selective Enforcement?

- Planned distribution of MP and Supporting Equipment to ensure that the enforcement effort is applied when and where needed

- Based on review of historical data on time, place, type and frequency of incidents or violations

- Fosters efficient use of manpower

PatrolsPatrols


• Management of Patrol Planning:

- Patrol distribution planning – must be thoughtful

- Equipment considerations, i.e. standardization of equipment (handcuff case debacle), bike patrols, 4-wheel drive vehicles, Promask, etc.

- Methods of patrols – proper distribution results in more efficient use of manpower and lends direction to crime prevention and law and order activities

Patrol Distribution PlanningPatrol Distribution Planning


• Patrol Distribution Policy Decisions:

- Policy decision making considerations:

* Cannot dispatch patrols for every call which comes in, i.e. minor fender bender, barrack’s larcenies

* May seek appropriate agencies assistance, i.e. the unit commander, Army Community Services, etc.

* Must have clear policy on degree to which patrol personnel handle criminal investigations, and extent of involvement in traffic control, investigations, and enforcement (all must be decided) – Witness disposition? Crime scene actions? Traffic control?



• Patrol Distribution Policy Decisions:

- Policy decision making considerations:

* Priorities for assigned service call precedence if insufficient patrols are available – must know this ahead of time, i.e. missing child versus a stolen wallet

* Patrol supervisor should not be included in determination as to how many patrols are required – Patrol supervisor’s role is to supervise

* Proper patrol distribution equalizes the workload among patrols – unequal workloads may adversely affect morale



• 4- Step Process in Patrol Distribution:

- STEP 1- Determine the size of the patrol force

must understand the relationship between MP CDR/PM do they have different missions, needs, expectations, etc.?

coordination is critical between the MP CDR and the PM, i.e. riots, FTXs, etc.

Where do we get MP resources for the installation law enforcement mission?




- STEP 2 – Analyze statistical data

(collect, compile, and use statistical data)

How do we do this, and what will such efforts do for us?




STEP 3 – Determine patrol areas:

- establish patrol objectives - protection of property, crime prevention, identification and apprehension of offenders

- considerations for patrols – mission of the patrol and directives and policies to be enforced, hours of operation for activities, population density, traffic patterns; commo capabilities, etc.

- patrol coverage – patrol areas should be covered in one hour, do not give patrol areas, which are too wide for a patrol to cover




- STEP 4 – Establish types and numbers of patrols

(Types? Advantages/Disadvantages?)

- Fixed/static (gates, access control guards, ammo storage, etc.)

- Foot (warehouses, family member quarters, commercial estab.)

- Motor

- Canine (military working dogs)

- Aircraft

- Special (boats, snowmobiles, bicycles, and motorcycles)



• Shift considerations:

- morale

- job satisfaction

- effectiveness

• Advantages/Disadvantages of 8 hour shifts versus 12 hour shifts?

• Advantages/Disadvantages of one-person patrols

Why are there more arrests, fewer complaints, and a safety advantage with a one-person patrol?



• Advantages/Disadvantages one-person patrols:


Advantages:

- Efficiency

- Discipline

- Supervision

- Alertness

Disadvantages:

- Witnesses

- Training

- Backup


• Directed Patrolling: directs limited assets to those places and at times which have the greatest impact on addressing an identified crime or other issue

• Preventive Patrolling: similar to directed patrolling – uniform presence in the right place at the right time; focus is on protection of people not property

• Split Patrol: Reactive (answers calls) & Proactive (prevention)



• Off-post patrols: Not many stateside, POSSE COMITATUS ACT – OCONUS, it varies

• Other patrol considerations: - Equipment

- Weapons – what is the right mix?

- Communications

- Emergency (SOP and rehearsals are critical!!)

- Special challenges (Flag Officer quarters)

- Special events, i.e. major installation activities such as carnivals, open houses, etc.



• Contingency plans: bomb threats, civil disturbances, serious criminal activities

• Various disasters

Bottom line be prepared, and have well thought out, and executable contingency/emergency plans, which adequately addresses your personnel requirements; and ensure that prior coordination with supporting agencies is routine and effective!!!
