Operation Clear Track 2019 Invitation

Posted: September 5, 2019

This is your official invitation to participate in the third annual “Operation Clear Track” railroad safety detail on Tuesday, September 24th to mark Rail Safety Week 2019 from Sept. 22-28 across the U.S. and Canada.

As in previous years, if you can devote three hours to railroad safety on this day, or the rain date, Wednesday, September 25th, we would be honored to have you as a member of our national railroad safety law enforcement team.

As background, “Operation Clear Track” is a safety initiative hosted by Amtrak Police and Operation Lifesaver Inc. to bring police and sheriff’s departments together to enforce state grade crossing and trespassing laws on America’s railroad tracks. Operation Lifesaver is a non-profit organization dedicated to the reduction of railroad-related deaths and injuries across the U.S. and Canada.

Since its inception, this exercise targeting high incident railroad grade crossings, has resulted in thousands of citations and warnings issued to motorists and pedestrians violating these laws. The campaign remains the single largest railroad safety law enforcement activity ever assembled in the United States and starting this year in Canada. Last year nearly 530 Police, Sheriff’s, and other agencies participated across 48 states.

If you’re able to take part in this year’s campaign, you will be asked to report to any two railroad grade crossings in your community to enforce your grade crossing and trespassing laws and distribute railroad safety tip cards that will be shipped to your department at no cost to you (see attached). Those who do not comply with the law should be issued verbal or written warnings, or citations when appropriate. The three-hour enforcement period can occur during any shift and any time throughout a single day. At the end of the detail, your department will receive a link to report your enforcement results (number of warnings, citations and cards distributed) so we can establish statistical data for the operation nationwide.

Here is a letter from Amtrak Police Chief Neil Trugman with additional information about the event and the following link, https://operationlifesaver.wufoo.com/forms/operation-clear-track-2019-signup-form/ to register for the operation and obtain your free rail safety tip cards. This year, the cards will be shipped immediately upon registration to avoid delays.

We look forward to working with you to help keep your communities safe. Please contact Barbara Petito at [email protected] or (202) 906-3337 if you have any questions or concerns.

 

This Week's CACP 2019 Annual Conference Sponsor In The Spotlight: Psychological Dimensions

Posted: September 5, 2019

We'd like to thank Psychological Dimensions for its continued support of CACP. Psychological Dimensions was a Wireless Internet Sponsor at the 2019 Annual Conference and we are glad they were able to join us!

Psychological Dimensions (PD) believes that agencies, as part of their role in protecting the public and securing their safety, often are required to place themselves at significant risk when selecting candidates, retaining staff, and carrying out operations. PD takes this seriously by using the latest scientifically informed methods for evaluating candidates and current law enforcement officers, as well as in maximizing the effectiveness of agency operations and procedure. We believe this ultimately allows agencies to pick the best applicants, retain the best staff, and implement practices that help protect the agency from unnecessary scrutiny. At PD, we see our services as an investment in your agency; an opportunity to complement and build upon the hard work your agency is doing as it finds ways to best protect and serve the public.
