Question 6

Question 9

One of the two pillars that support effective community outreach and partnership activities is the use of strategic and tactical problem solving. Problem solving is the systematic review and analysis of data to determine who or what is causing the problem; where, when, and why the problem is recurring; and how to best utilize the combined resources of the Department and the community to resolve the problem. Detailed information allows precise activities directed at the cause, not just the symptoms, of the problem. This interactive process works in concert with traffic safety partnerships to solve recurring traffic safety concerns identified through analysis of empirical and/or anecdotal information. Historically, the Department has utilized a three-prong approach to solve traffic-related problems and incidents. Each application below can be used to impact potential problems.
