Identify locations throughout the Troop where crashes are most likely to occur
Design an effective crash analysis program to determine the primary factors that contribute to traffic crashes at these locations
Develop effective countermeasures to correct hazardous conditions
Implement a public information and education campaign, to help the public avoid traffic dangers and crash risks

Vehicle crashes and traffic congestion have a significant effect on the quality of life of all residents and visitors of
Louisiana.

The NYPD modeled the TrafficStat process after the CompStat system, a highly-effective method for reducing crime and disorder in New York City, that has been employed by law enforcement officers in recent years. TrafficStat is comprised of four components: 1) Accurate and timely intelligence; 2) Rapid deployment; 3) Effective tactics; and 4) Relentless follow-up and assessment.
![Page 7: Capt. Ralph D. Mitchell Jr. Louisiana State Police Troop C](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032307/56649cac5503460f9496e9c5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The TrafficStat system is used as a tool to implement the Six E's (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response, Evacuation, and Everyone Else) at locations throughout the Troop that show “potential” for effectiveness. The identification process, along with an analysis of crash factors and discussion of potential solutions, takes place at monthly “Traffic Strategy” meetings.
