S.T.E.P. CAMPAIGNS: FY 2009
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.
