Chapter 5: Road Policing Flashcards
Under Safer Journeys what is the long term goal for NZ set out in it’s vision?
“A safe road system increasingly free of death and serious injury”
We will be taking a “Safe System” approach to road safety, how doe this differ from the past?
Rather than always blaming the road user for crash, it acknowledges that even responsible people make mistakes on the roads
The Safe System has 3 objectives. What are they?
Hint =
Make
Manage
Minimise
- Make the road system more accommodating for human error
- Manage the forces that injure people in a crash to a level the human body can tolerate without serious injury
- Minimise the level of unsafe road user behaviour
The Safe System focuses of 4 areas, what are they?
Hint - 4 safes
Safe Roads
Safe Speeds
Safe Vehicles
Safe road use
Analysis of NZ’s current crash problem indicate 13 areas of concern that need to be strengthened. What are they?
- Reducing drink/drugged driving
- Increasing the safety of young drivers
- Safe roads and roadsides
- Safe speeds
- Increasing the safety of motorcycling
- Improving the safety of light vehicle fleet
- Safe walking and cycling
- Improving the safety of the heavy vehicle fleet
- Reducing the impact of fatigue
- Addressing distraction
- Reducing the impact of high risk drivers
- Increasing the level of restraint use
- Increase the safety of older drivers
Road policing and Action Plan 2018-2021
How will we meet the objectives of the action plan?
Hint = Using Articulating Providing Monitoring Evidence
- By using available strategies
- Articulating Risks
- Providing recommended interventions
- Monitoring outcomes
- using evidence based evaluations
What are the top risk factors that police are focusing on to make a difference?
Hint - RIDS
Restraints
Impairment
Distractions
Speed
What is our Deployment Model for the RP Action Plan?
Hint -SEE
Set
Enable
Expect
Under SEE what does SET look like?
Set - Police will draw from existing police and sector strategies to deliver the RPAP.
Must have freedom to define and respond using all available strategies across
- Prevention
- Enforcement
- Alt Resolutions
Under SEE what tools are provided to ENABLE our staff?
ENABLE - provide tools to carry out the plan
- Critical command information
- District deployment tool
National road Safety Dashboard developed for deployment by DCC’s
-Repeat Rego Report
- The NZ Road Safety Partnership
- Police
-NZTA
-MoT
will work together in partnership to lead and co-design new delivery models. Will replace the current Road Policing Programme (RPP)
- Police
- Tasking and Coordination
Deployment will be done in adherence to T and C
. This will ensure that evidence becomes the basis of our deployment - Tools (on duty)
Developed to modernise our delivery and info gathering. Further developments to include Alt Res - Local stake holder Partnerships
Key to engage with national and local partners leveraging their skills and mandates to assist police
Under SEE what does EXPECT look like?
We expect to reduce crash risk by deploying the right resources to the right place at the right time
We will expand on existing partnerships to evaluate prevention outcomes and ensure high levels of performance are maintained.
How will performance be measured?
Perf. will not be measured in outputs . Will be aligned with longer term outcomes such as reducing road deaths by 5% every year
Fleeing Driver Policy
What is the overarching principle of the policy
