This webinar explores the extreme vulnerabilities associated with police and other first responder vehicle operations and delivers meaningful takeaways for crash mitigation. Traditional crash prevention measures have often focused narrowly on emergency driving. However, all aspects of emergency vehicle operation must be examined, taking today's technology into account, to help prevent and adequately investigate first-responder-involved crashes. Many first responder agencies drastically underutilize vehicle-to-vehicle digital alerting systems, telematics, Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS), and Advanced Driver-Assisted Systems (ADAS). This session explores the risks of inconsistent usage and lack of policy guidance on available vehicle technology.
Attendee Takeaways:
- Understanding how first responder-involved crashes are a growing concern and how an effective general non-emergency driving crash prevention program can also help mitigate crashes
- Learn how police departments can and should use today's technology to mitigate crashes, such as vehicle-to-vehicle digital alerting systems, telematics, GPS, vehicle manufacturer Collision Avoidance Systems (CAS), and Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS)
- Participants will find the resources and materials highly beneficial, including an overview of the role of supervisors in collecting and reviewing motor vehicle crash reports to improve safety
