Unit to reduce fatalities, crashes, and injuries on the roadways of Richmond County.

The statement should provide a concise description for the defined geographic area or jurisdiction. Include consecutive years of the most recent local and statewide data, as well as local demographic information. (Charts, graphs and percentages are effective ways of displaying the data. Chart and graph documents can be uploaded as attachments on the next page). The Richmond County Sheriff's Office is responsible for providing coverage for approximately 330 sq. miles and a population of over 200,000. Two interstates and several other major national and state highways run through this county. There has been ongoing construction work on Interstate 20 and I-520 for several years. These extensive projects still have years before they will be completed. Work on I-20 has resulted in the closure of the majority of the emergency lanes which were previously available for deputies to run laser and radar. The elimination of these lanes has severely curtailed the ability to make speeding cases on this highway, as there is nowhere for the officers to run stationary speed enforcement and also nowhere for them to safely get violators off the roadway. A similar enforcement problem has been encountered on I-520, as miles of construction barrels hamper our ability to get out after violators and to prevent moving them off the roadway to conduct the stop. According to the 2011 NHTSA traffic statistics, out of 159 Georgia counties, Richmond County ranked 5th in the state for total traffic crash fatalities. Richmond County had a 68% increase in fatalities from 2010 to 2011 and a 37% increase again from 2011 to 2012. These increases are a direct reflection due to not having HEAT units during these years. The chart below shows the number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities by year from 2012 - 2015. Year Crashes Injuries Fatalities 2012 11,462 1,631 44 2013 7,976 1,566 26 2014 9,377 1,885 27 2015 10038, 2133, 26 In order to reduce the number of traffic crashes and resulting injuries and deaths, the maximum speed limit everywhere in Richmond County is 55mph. The adjoining counties on Interstate 20 (Columbia County in Georgia and Aiken County in South Carolina) both have speed limits which are higher. Regular speed enforcement on our stretch of I-20 has shown that the average speed on this highway is 70mph. The units that enforce speed on this roadway routinely go after violators exceeding the posted speeds by a minimum of 20mph. A continued effort is needed to stay abreast of the problem. The major focus of this grant is DUI enforcement combined with the reduction of crashes, injuries and fatalities. As such all efforts including deployment hours will be directed towards this. In the efforts of conducting DUI enforcement, all ensuring traffic violators will be contacted although not targeted Page 3 of 2901/13/2017 General Application 2017 Organization: Richmond County Sheriff's Office GA-2017-402PT-139 Version Date: 01/13/2017 09:35:42 Problem Identification Page 4 of 2901/13/2017 General Application 2017 Organization: Richmond County Sheriff's Office GA-2017-402PT-139 Version Date: 01/13/2017 09:35:42 Program Assessment Program Assessment helps determine the resources a community currently has in place to address the problem. Include a review of current activities and results of past and current efforts, indicating what did or did not work. Assess resources to determine what is needed to more effectively address the problem. Identify local laws, policies, groups, and organizations that support or inhibit the success of the project. The Richmond County Sheriff's Office is the 2nd largest full-service Sheriff's Office in the State of Georgia. We answer over 250,000 calls for service each year and handle calls in the cities of Hephzibah and Blythe in the county also. Fatalities more than doubled in 2011 bringing the total to 32 and increased again in 2012 by 37% (44). Since the creation of the HEAT Unit we have seen a decrease in fatalities. In 2014, due to the assistance of the HEAT Unit we experienced 27 fatalities. This goal was reached thru the following: The Sheriff's Office Traffic Division supervisors have attended DDAC training. Thru this training high crash areas have been identified and resources have been deployed to decrease the crashes. These high crash areas have been targeted by monitoring traffic flow, and when observing violations citing those responsible. This is done by the highest crash times. We also have targeted those that follow too close due to it being a contributing factor to a high number of accidents. We have utilized GOHS network assistance during roadchecks. We held over 40 roadchecks throughout the county. The purpose of the roadchecks are to identify those that are not following state traffic laws. We have increased our traffic division manpower to 40 officers. By increasing the number of officers we are able to deploy into more areas of concern. The HEAT Officers provide educational information to the military personnel based at Ft. Gordon twice a month, along with educating the local high schools students. Traffic safety being the main topic. DUI prevention is a big topic that is covered. We have the students participate by wearing "drunk glasses" that allow for them to see the difference in driving sober and impaired. We also discuss other contributing factors to accidents; speeding, following too close, etc.. We also reach out to the media to utilize them to reach the public. When we experienced a high number of pedestrian fatalities Pedestrian Safety information was provided to all media outlets to educate the public. We have seen success by doing these things. We continue to search for new ways to decrease crashes within Richmond County. Heat Units met all statistic goals in 2014. They traveled to other jurisdictions and assisted where needed (roadchecks, seatbelt education, and saturated patrol). They also attended several traffic related training classes. We are supported by our surrounding agencies, along with M.A.D.D.

The Sheriff’s Office will also make the project grant officers available to media, especially during enforcement efforts such as OZT, Click it or Ticket, and 100 days of Summer HEAT. The use of the Sheriff’s Office web site and Facebook page will be included within the media plan. Posts, photos, statistics, safety tips, etc. will all be incorporated into our social media educational tools. Some of the local media outlets are: Augusta Chronicle, Augusta Focus, Urban Pro Weekly, Metro Spirit, Applause, North Augusta Star, McDuffie Progress, McDuffie Mirror, The Signal, WAGT, WJBF, WRDW, WFXG, WGAC, and others. We also have some donated billboards and will use these in conjunction with the grant.

Are all resources necessary in order to achieve the grant goals/objectives? 1. The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office is requesting salaries for two (2) full time personnel that will be dedicated to traffic enforcement as HEAT unit officers. Richmond County will supply a third (3rd) person in kind assigned to the HEAT project. 2.

Page 28 of 2901/13/2017 General Application 2017 Organization: Richmond County Sheriff's Office GA-2017-402PT-139 Version Date: 01/13/2017 09:35:42 Self-Sufficiency Continuation Plan Federal Funding guidelines require that each funded project indicate how the activities of the project will be continued after federal funds are no longer provided. The continuation plan must identify potential sources of non-federal funds. The HEAT team is an integral part of the traffic effort of the Richmond County Sheriff's Office, and is such a needed asset that we will continue this effort into the foreseeable future. With the sustained growth of the county and the number of crashes, injuries and fatalities, traffic safety must be included within all future plans. With the current expansion of the Traffic Division within the Sheriff’s Office, it has been made clear that traffic safety and enforcement is a priority and the HEAT units could be sustained in the future through the budgetary process of the traffic division.
