Abstract

The results of this analysis fail to show that projects involving overtime or equivalent for police officers have detectable results in preventing the kinds of accidents whose unsafe behaviors are targetted. The trend lines on the graphs did not seem to show much evidence of favorable change. Analysis by quarters perhaps showed a slight trend in the right direction for all accidents, but not for alcohol accidents. Growing out of this failure to find satisfactory results are some thoughts as to ways that this situation may be improved in future projects.
