Road Policing & Sudden Death Flashcards
The Government’s Vision of Road to Zero is what … and based on what strategy?
- Where no one is killed or seriously injured in road crashes
- Based on “Vision Zero”, a global movement
The intermediate target towards achieving this vision of “Road to Zero” is what ?
- 40% reduction of deaths and serious injuries on our roads over next decade (until 2030)
- means - 750 fewer deaths, and 5600 fewer serious injuries
“Road to Zero” - Seven Guiding Principles … what are they?
**Built from the “Safe System” approach
1. We promote good choices, but plan for mistakes
2. We design for human vulnerability
3. We strengthen all parts of the road transport system
4. We have a shared responsibility for improving road safety
5. Our actions are grounded in evidence and evaluated
6. Our road safety actions support health, wellbeing and liveable places
7. We make safety a critical decision-making priority
“Road to Zero” - Five Focus Areas ?
- Infrastructure improvements and speed management
- Vehicle Safety
- Work-related road safety
- Road user choices
- System management
“Road to Zero” - Measuring Success - For each of the five focus areas, the action plan sets out the specific intervention indicators that are relevant to the initial actions. What are they ? (3 topics)
Intervention indicators - Measure progress of specific action plan initiatives. They will be updated in each action plan to ensure they stay relevant.
Safety performance indicators – and what the government seeks to improve through successful program delivery. They are enduring and will be monitored throughout the duration of strategy
Outcome indicators – relate closely to the overarching goal. Like the safety performance indicators they are enduring it will be monitored throughout the duration of strategy.
Road Policing Response - NZ Police purpose is to ensure everyone can be safe and feel safe on the roads and in our communities. To that end what are “Our Goals” (think Our Business) ?
Safe Homes
Safe Roads
Safe Communities
Road to Zero - this was developed in partnership with which other two agencies ?
Ministry of Transport and the New Zealand Transport Agency
Road to Zero - 75% of funding is directed at who
RIDS and high risk drivers
What is the IILM (Road Policing) ?
Integrated Intervention Logic Model
Road to Zero - to enable delivery, what are the five “Critical Command Information” factors, ie: where are they sourced from ?
- Repeat Registrations Report
- Road Safety Partnership
- Tasking and Coordination
- Tools (OnDuty app)
- Local Stakeholder Partnerships
Road to Zero - New performance measures will be monitored through SAS visual analytics and National Road Policing Safety Dashboard. Performance will be measured - how ?
Reducing Road deaths
NOTE: Will not be measured by “Outputs” … old data looked at Activity and Output, but output will not be considered a performance measure
Road to Zero - What are the Overall principles in Fleeing Driver Events ? (8 things)
- All staff share responsibility to manage event safely as possible
- Report FDE and action taken. Investigation is viable alternative to pursuing
- Safety of Police, public, vehicle occupants (particularly C or YP, where they’ve been identified) takes priority over immediate apprehension of Fleeing driver
- Pursuit only possible if at least ONE of justifications in FD Framework are met
- Actions / Behaviour of Driver prior to Police presence must be given consideration for TENR and appropriate response
- Decisions to not pursue will be supported
- FDE to be reviewed in timely manner to manage H&S, Training, Systemic Issues and Lessons Learnt
- Staff may be Criminally liable if actions contravene legislation
Road to Zero - Fleeing Driver events will be reviewed to determine whether the Police response to each Fleeing Driver Event was … what ? (Name the four points) ?
- Reasonable, Proportionate and Necessary
- Lawful
- Justified, considering all the circumstances
- Compliant with Police Instructions
Road to Zero - Fleeing Drivers
What is the role of the Pursuit Controller ? (Comms)
- Is responsible for control and command of the pursuit
- Confirms the initial reason for signalling the driver to stop
- Directs abandonment where the initial reason for signalling to stop is not provided or unjustified
OR
- Ensures the pursuit acknowledgement has been given and acknowledged by the initiating unit
- Continuously performs own TENR risk assessment to assess risk associated with pursuit are justified
- Plans to resolve the pursuit as safely as possible and communicates this plan, and any subsequent revision of the plan
If resources allow:
* Ensures Secondary vehicle takes over pursuit commentary if initiating unit is single crewed
* Replaces unmarked vehicles with marked vehicles at earliest opportunity
* Replaces single crew unit with a two person unit as soon as practicable
- Limits the number of Police units following to no more than two, unless tactically appropriate
- Coordinates tactical units and options to resolve event safely, including ASU
- Monitors situation reports to ensure sufficient risk information is being provided to enable informed decision-making
- Directs abandonment of the pursuit when:
- TENR risk assessment identifies risk of harm outweighs initial threat by the vehicle occupants and the need to immediately apprehend
- Identity of driver becomes known and does not pose immediate threat, and likely can be safely apprehended later
- Pursuing units have lost contact with fleeing driver
- Sustained loss of communication with the pursuing units
Road to Zero - Fleeing Drivers
After a fleeing driver event, what is the pursuit controllers responsibility ?
- Completes the emergency communication centre section of the Fleeing Driver notification, BEFORE the end of shift
- Debriefs with Emergency Communications Centre and District Staff to identify areas for improvement and reinforce good practice
