If the report on the opposite side indicates you did not meet the average seat belt or child seat rates of other agencies, tell us what <br />you will do differently in 2002: <br />Lino Lakes Police Department <br />So far our group has fallen short on the number of seat belt citations issued. At the time of this report we <br />were at 17.8%, which is lower than the average of 22.8%. While this number does fall short it does not <br />include the last wave, which was seat belts. It is our belief that when the final count for Wave V comes in, <br />we will still be short, but there should be an increase from 17.8%. <br />Our group has discussed this and somefeelit was due to the number of people who left town during this <br />wave. The initial contacts and citations were high and then tapered off after the traffic reduced. We have <br />discussed ways to be more productive and one of those is to schedule more squads during the beginning <br />and the end of a holiday weekend or week. <br />As project director I will continue writing letters to top producers from each agency after each wave. We <br />will also continue to reward good work with an incentive, such as pens, coffee mugs, etc. <br />We will also place a special emphasis on "buckling up" during the Anoka County Fair. This is a time <br />when several thousand people will attend the county fair and we need to capitalize on this event within <br />our community. <br />Our group will try harder. We can do better and we will. Department managers involved in the grant will <br />stress the importance of seat belt enforcement to their officers. <br />Is there anything else would you like the OTS to consider regarding your agencies ability to increase seat belt use and <br />enforcement in your area? <br />Restraint Use Enforcement Report for 2002 Safe & Sober Page 2 of 2 <br />
