EnforcementOperation Lifesaver promotes active ENFORCEMENT of traffic laws relating to highway-rail grade crossings and private property laws related to rail trespassing. When motorists disregard signs, lights, bells and gates at railroad crossings, the consequences often are deadly. A collision involving a vehicle and a train is almost 20 times more likely to result in a fatality than a collision involving another vehicle. Law Enforcement Training CoursesThe odds are most law enforcement officers will need to respond to these incidents. Law enforcement officials should Contact their State Coordinator to ask about attending Basic, Intermediate or Advanced GRADE CROSSING COLLISION INVESTIGATION Courses, approved by Operation Lifesaver, Inc., the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs’ Association. Other Law Enforcement ToolsFor basic information on railroad terminology and safety around railroad operations, see Operation Lifesaver’s Tips for Law Enforcement Officers. You also can order OL’s video for law enforcement officers, “Roll Call: Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Safety”, and OL’s video for judicial awareness, “It’s Your Call”, from Operation Lifesaver's vendors. Also, Operation Lifesaver invites every law enforcement officer to Become a Presenter. About 15 percent of Operation Lifesaver’s trained and certified volunteer safety volunteers are law enforcement officers! |
