Attachment 2 <br />All agencies which have received funding for a Safe & Sober overtime patrol grant in the past must complete this report. This does not include agencies <br />which used a Challenge award for overtime patrols. <br />REPORT ON SEAT BELT AND CHILD SEAT CITATIONS AND WARNINGS <br />DURING PREVIOUS SAFE & SOBER YEARS <br />There is no easier, cheaper, more effective way to save lives and prevent injuries than to increase seat belt and child seat use <br />rates. When evaluating applications for Safe & Sober 2002, the OTS will again consider your performance in comparison to <br />other grantees for the rate of vehicle stops per hour, the rate of stops that resulted in a citation or written warning for violation of <br />the seat belt or child seat laws, and the rate of stops resulting in a citation rather than a warning. This report is meant to help you <br />to make your case that your agency does need a Safe & Sober grant and is committed to enforcing the passenger protection laws. <br />Please note: "Everyone is buckled up" only tells us your agency doesn't need a Safe & Sober grant as badly as all those other <br />places where everyone isn't buckled up. Each year OTS is able to approve about half of the requests for funding — it is our <br />responsibility to do everything we can to ensure our grants go to those communities who need them most and can use them best. <br />For each past year in which you received an overtime patrol Safe & Sober grant, fill in the percentage of contacts which resulted <br />in an action for failing to comply with the seat belt or child seat law. The results by lead agency for 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, <br />2000, and 2001 are attached. For more current 2001 data, call your OTS coordinator (the attached data for 2001 does not <br />include reports on the Youth wave or later). In evaluating how well your agency has done, we will consider significant <br />improvement and the answers to the questions as well as absolute percentages. <br />Year <br />Your Contacts <br />Related to Passenger Protection <br />All Agencies Average Contacts <br />Related to Passenger Protection <br />1996 <br />% <br />20.09% <br />1997 <br />% <br />19.0% <br />1998 <br />% <br />18.4% <br />1999 <br />% <br />20.7% <br />2000a <br />, % <br />27.6% <br />2001 <br />% <br />22.8% (reports through Valentines only) <br />If you believe your agency did its part to enforce the passenger protection laws but your rate was adversely affected by the poor <br />performance of a partner agency, report your agency's results in contrast to your partner agency's (or agencies) results below: <br />Turn this page over to complete the report. <br />Restraint Use Enforcement Report for 2002 Safe & Sober Page 1 of 2 <br />
