The long range objectives are to make improvements in traffic law enforcement, personnel selection and development, and infrastructure upgrades. Each plan will move the MHP closer to its long range objectives as illustrated below: Long Range Objectives 2014-2015 Plan 2012-2013 Plan 2010-2011 Plan 2008-2009 Plan The vision of the Montana Highway Patrol is to become the best law enforcement agency in the Northwestern United States. Being the best means having strong public support of our mission, the finest available applicants, and above all the safest highways. A reduction of traffic fatalities as measured by vehicle miles traveled (VMT) of at least sixteen percent by 2016 is the main goal of the MHP. The sixteen by sixteen initiative is only an initial stepping stone. As long as one person dies on Montana’s highways due to a traffic crash, our work is not done. MHP STRATEGIC GOALS In order to meet the overarching goal of safer highways in Montana, a number of strategic goals must be reached. In order of priority, they are: 1. Improve Traffic Safety District and Detachment Commanders will define roadways in their geographic area of responsibility where they feel that the most impact can be made. Troopers will be encouraged to patrol these targeted roads to reduce fatal and injury crashes. Recruit, Retain, and Develop Quality Employees. The men and women of the MHP are our greatest resource. Maintaining the field forces in a high level of readiness is critical to achieving operational goals. Hiring of well qualified civilian staff is also critical, as is proper training opportunities and pay for those positions. Improve Technologies to Increase Trooper Efficiency. A 1979 Northwestern University study showed that Montana needed a minimum of 395 uniformed troopers to make Montana’s roads as safe as possible. Resources are not available for manpower of that magnitude, so improved efficiency of the current and future field forces is necessary. This will be made possible through improved communication and IT technology. Interdict Criminal Activity. Drug trafficking in the United States continues to increase. The interdiction of controlled substances, illegal contraband, and other criminal activity that threatens the safety and livelihood of our citizens is a priority for members of the patrol. Efficiently Acquire and Deploy Resources. The command staff of the patrol, in concert with line personnel will continuously review the mission of the patrol and will work to seek necessary resources to help the patrol reach its goals. 2. 3. 4. 5. These goals have been determined by the Chief of the Montana Highway Patrol through discussion and input from command staff, sergeants, troopers, and civilian personnel. GUIDING VALUES Service Integrity Respect Service can take the form of; Service to the citizens of Montana, Service to those passing through our state, Service to other agencies, and Service to each other. Many times, this service is performed through the enforcement of traffic and criminal codes. Integrity means having the personal ability to be honorable and upright and exercising that ability in every situation. It is the behavioral foundation of the individual employee, who in turn is the foundation of the agency. Respect is an unbiased consideration and regard for rights, values, beliefs and property. It is much more than just being polite, it is a deeper commitment to the beliefs stated in the constitution of the United States. Traffic Law Enforcement Although there are many variables that contribute to highway safety, there are five main areas on which the Patrol will focus. This includes Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, speeding, failing to use a safety belt, and other aggressive driving actions that threaten the safety of others. In addition, the patrol will concentrate on suspended and revoked drivers, who generally represent repeat offenders that have proven to be the most dangerous of Montana’s drivers. Finally, criminal interdiction will continue to be one of the Patrol’s priorities, through which we will try to reduce the illegal substances that some driver’s in fatal crashes ultimately consume. To measure the success of addressing these issues, and by extension the Patrol’s ability to provide a safe environment for our residents and visitors, three factors will be measured. The first is achieving a fatality rate that is two percent below the average of the previous ten years each of the two years covered by this plan. The measurement will be the vehicle miles traveled provided by NHTSA. This will be accomplished by: a. Participate in a leadership role to engage the legislative body in order to pass a primary seat belt law. b. Work with the Department of Transportation and others to establish focused public education with a true enforcement image in the forefront. c. Monitor strict and fair enforcement of laws by all uniformed members. The next is the survey results of citizen’s perception of highway safety during the day and night. A baseline survey was taken by Montana State University and published in 2006. A third measurement will be a subjective review of Command Staff’s support and participation in traffic crime suppression strategies, including criminal interdiction. In 2008 and 2009, the patrol’s goals in these areas include: Increasing the community member’s perception of safety. • • • • • Draw attention to the efforts of the MHP to reduce the fatality rate and to reduce the amount and type of illegal drugs coming into the state. Accent the positive, showing the public that what the MHP does makes a difference. Participate in local efforts to improve the perception of improved public safety through cooperative traffic enforcement efforts as well as support through use of the Special Events Support Unit (SESU). Form strategic partnerships with other governmental agencies and interested public groups. Continue to build and maintain relationships with Montana’s Native Peoples to promote better understanding and mutual respect. Increase traffic law enforcement • • • • • • Introduce and implement productivity system that allows troopers who support the mission to be rewarded, and help those that are not as productive to become better supporters of the MHP’s mission of traffic safety. Respect and obey the state’s non quota law. Hold all levels of the agency accountable for results through diligent enforcement, rewarding those who excel, and assisting or correcting those who do not. Take advantage of improved technologies that make troopers more efficient and translate that efficiency into improved traffic patrol availability. Continue to participate effectively in the Rocky Mountain Highway Patrol Network. o Maintain the excellent working relationships with other partners in criminal interdiction, specifically the local drug task forces in Montana. Encourage team operations with local sheriff’s offices and police departments to reduce traffic crashes on targeted roadways. Personnel Recruitment, Selection, Retention and Productivity The Montana Highway Patrol believes that its employees are its greatest asset. To that end, the patrol will work towards the recruitment, selection, and retention of the best and brightest that Montana and the region have to offer both in the sworn and non-sworn ranks. • • • • • • • • Collaborate with national experts to find the latest methodologies to ensure the finest applicants are selected for employment with the patrol. Review annually and revise as needed, the promotional system for the patrol, to ensure the best promotions possible. Devise a system that allows supervisors to recognize high performing troopers. o Recognize district and state troopers of the quarter o Recognize district and state troopers of the year o Nominate state trooper of the year for the IACP trooper of the year. o Improve or eliminate consistent low performers from the agency. Train every trooper to at least the Technical level of crash investigation. Seek training opportunities for civilian staff, so that each civilian employee has at least an opportunity to attend a training course applicable to their position once per year. Continue to educate troopers in Criminal Interdiction by sending them to Desert Snow Training and participate with the local HIDTA Task Forces in interdiction operations. Hold supervisors and managers accountable for activities they are responsible for. o Meet quarterly to review progress, note successes, and discuss failures. Mentor our supervisors and troopers; assess, guide, support, and counsel our people for the purpose of assisting them refine and acquire new skills, including promotion. Infrastructure Improvements • Continue to work towards completion of the total IT solution. In 2008, this will entail the installation of the SmartCop CAD/RMS as well as the installation of hardened laptops into fifty percent of MHP field forces vehicles. Completion of the project by 2009 is anticipated. Use accurate and timely CAD/RMS data to support the goal of increasing the community’s perception of improved public safety. Work towards interoperable communications statewide through the installation of digital/analog capable radio equipment in all MHP vehicles. Fine tune tracking of high profile and high liability areas by analysis of accurate data from the electronic early warning system (IAPro). Improve the division’s employee appraisal system in order to increase efficiency and standardization. • • • • CONCLUSION Traffic safety is the mission of the Montana Highway Patrol. This mission is accomplished through diligent enforcement of Montana Motor Vehicle code, by intensive criminal interdiction, education of the motoring public, and through professional crash investigations. Sixteen by Sixteen! Fellow Montanans: In Montana and states like Montana, law enforcement must make the most of the personnel and resources it has. Rather than opting for resource-intensive programs, the state and the Patrol are using people, equipment and technology wisely to meet the challenges of keeping Montana motorists safe. The Mobile Impaired Driving Assessment Center (MIDAC) will bring processing capabilities to the offenders, rather than the other way around. It is an effective way to evaluate DUI suspects while maximizing the amount of time troopers spend on the road. And the MHP has initiated a roving patrol unit. The unit of five troopers is funded by a two-year National Highway Traffic Safety Administration grant from the Montana Department of Transportation. The grant of about $500,000 will cover salaries, per diem and lodging for the officers. In some cases, the unit will be deployed to specific areas to coincide with holidays, concerts, rodeos or other special events. In general, the patrols will target high-crash corridors identified by the MDT and the Patrol and will focus on enforcement, trying to stop crashes before they happen. The unit also combines enforcement with public education, with troopers doing on community outreach on topics like child restraints and seat belt use. I am proud of Patrol's talented, dedicated people and its thoughtful use of time and resources. We all look forward to a productive, safe year to come. Very truly yours, MIKE McGRATH Attorney General Honorable Mike McGrath Attorney General Montana Department of Justice 215 N. Sanders Helena, MT 59620 Colonel Paul Grimstad Re: 2007 Annual Report Dear Attorney General McGrath: I respectfully submit the Montana Highway Patrol’s Annual Report for the year 2007. The report is required by Montana statute and contains all reported crashes investigated by Montana Law Enforcement officers. This report is a collaborative effort on the parts of many individuals and serves to assist all public, law enforcement and legislative agencies in determining areas of the state that are in need of crash reduction work. It also informs and educates individuals who are interested in traffic safety. Last year brought the Montana Highway Patrol in line with the computer age. We introduced several Information Technology systems to keep Troopers on the road and to better serve the public: a new CAD/RMS system, Itronix in the patrol cars, and the introduction of the “ecitation.” We have finally started to increase our Troopers on the roads of this state which will benefit both the public and other law enforcement agencies. October 9th brought the loss of one of our own. While enforcing traffic laws in the Kalispell area, Trooper David Graham was involved in a fatal traffic crash. We in law enforcement are all too aware of the dangers associated with this job; Trooper Graham gave the ultimate sacrifice in protecting and serving the people of this great state. All of the law enforcement family will continue on with the job; we know how important it is to the citizens we serve. The Patrol will continue to work diligently toward meeting the requirements set forth by the people of this great state. Together we can continue to make Montana a better place for us to live and travel. Respectfully, Colonel Paul K.
