Résumé
"To further our understanding of motor-vehicle operations among LEOs, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) sponsored a statewide survey on officers’ thoughts about and experiences with motor-vehicle-related incidents. The survey was conducted in Iowa in 2011 and included a random sample of 60 law enforcement agencies and nearly 1,500 sworn LEOs. Iowa was chosen because of pre-existing relationships with various law enforcement entities. Respondents were queried on a wide range of topics: motor-vehicle crashes and roadside incidents (being struck by or nearly struck by a moving vehicle), seat belt usage, written motor-vehicle policies, and frequency and type of occupational motor-vehicle training."--Page iii.
