Traffic Policing
Key focus areas:
The QPS plays an integral role in the regulation and control of traffic in Queensland with the overall aim of reducing the incidence of road trauma. This role is undertaken in partnership with a variety of government and non-government agencies.
The strategic framework for road safety strategies and initiatives in Queensland is derived from a number of sources, the National Road Safety Strategy (2001-2010); the Queensland Road Safety Strategy 2004-2011; and supporting Federal and State Road Safety Action Plans.
Strategies
- Foster partnerships through engaging the community and other agencies to identify and implement road safety education and crash prevention initiatives
- Provide quality advice to Queensland Transport and other stakeholders on enforcement, engineering, education and evaluation initiatives
- Promote road safety and compliance through a combination of deterrence methodologies including proactive media engagement and a multifaceted approach to traffic policing on Queensland roads
- Provide a timely and effective response to traffic incidents incorporating a multi-agency management approach to mitigate the impact and consequences of road trauma and incidents
- Provide random and targeted enforcement supported by innovation, research, intelligence and technology
- Implement strategies identified at the Premier’s Road Safety Summit and in QPS Road Safety Action Plans
