In addition to officer overtime, funds may be used for training and equipment if a need is demonstrated and funds are available.

Funded projects will target high-crash locations and corridors where there has been a high incidence of DUI-related crashes and arrests. Evidence-based enforcement operations include saturation patrols (consisting of two or more officers patrolling high-crash areas during peak times) and checkpoints. Funds will be available for officer overtime, training, and equipment if a need is demonstrated and funds are available.

This three-hour online training will address seat belt, child restraint and air bag history and development. Officers will learn the engineering designs that make these safety devices an important part of motor vehicles. Officers will be guided through the specifics about these safety devices and how they are protected both when they are occupants as well as when they respond to crashes. Officers will discuss enforcement techniques and requirements.
