Abstract:
This paper and presentation
discusses the ever-changing environment of traffic enforcement within
a modern police organisation. As a 'vehicle' to demonstrate this
change process, the Victoria Police will be examined to see what
if any change has taken place over the last 20 plus years. During
this presentation, I would like to reinforce the underlying message,
(that traffic enforcement is seen by agencies such as the Victoria
Police as a core function of a modern and progressive police organisation).
As I progress through
this presentation, it is my intention to look at some of the organisational
and operational changes that have occurred, with discussion focusing
on some of the reasons why this change has occurred. This discussion
will not only focus on the changing face of traffic enforcement,
but will also look at how traffic enforcement fits within a police
organisation that in essence has changed the fundamental way it
goes about its business.
Particular attention
will also be paid to the partnerships between police and other road
safety stakeholders. Arising from this association, there will be
discussion on the planning process to ensure an appropriate delivery
of traffic services to the community of Victoria. This presentation
will culminate in discussion on the current traffic enforcement
model of Victoria Police. Police delegates, in attendance here today
will be challenged to consider the issues arising from this presentation,
as to how they can manage and further reduce "their" respective
crash rates and at the same time deliver an appropriate level of
traffic services to their respective communities.
