Traffic Safety

NSA’s Traffic Safety department has the duty to address ongoing traffic safety issues and facilitate traffic safety program implementation by providing technical assistance, education, resources, and general support to the Office of Sheriff.

See NSA's Guide on implementing and strengthening your traffic safety program by clicking here.

The NSA Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) recently completed a roll call video to remind law enforcement officers that traffic enforcement is critical to saving lives every day. With support from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Jay Leno, TSC Chair, Sheriff (ret) John Whetsel, Dale Stockton from Below 100, and several sheriffs from across the country helped to produce this video. All law enforcement can use this resource to support the prevention of crashes, injuries, and fatalities in their communities and within their own agency.

Traffic Safety Committee

As part of our department’s work, NSA utilizes a Traffic Safety Committee to distribute and promote materials and to provide recommended procedures for traffic safety implementation among its membership. This Committee’s plan is supported by a monthly e-newsletter, Traffic Stop, and the provision of articles, updates, and other website resources.

NSA Traffic Safety Award

Together with our partners and sponsors, NHTSA, Northwestern University Center for Public Safety, and OnStar, NSA offers the J. Stannard Baker Award.
