S.T.E.P. CAMPAIGNS: FY 2010

S.T.E.P. awards grants to participating Kansas law enforcement agencies to increase education and enforcement efforts directed at compliance with Kansas safety belt, child passenger safety, and impaired driving laws. Enforcement is accomplished through funding of four annual overtime-only campaigns – also called mobilizations and enforcements – consisting mostly of saturation patrols and optional checkpoints. During FY 04, over 45,000 enforcement contacts were made, with over 23,000 citations for speeding, DUI, safety belt, and child restraint issued. Each campaign has a focus: DUI, occupant protection, or both; and each campaign goes after speeders, as well. Campaigns 1 & 2 are optional, the final two are mandatory.
