Spike in Motorcycle Crashes Prompts KSP to Launch Social Media Safety Blitz Kentucky State Police Press Release
(Frankfort, KY.) – KSP reports that 2012 has already shown a spike in motorcycle-related crashes with a 69 percent increase from 2011 for the same time period. For this reason, KSP has decided to utilize their best asset for reaching the public – social media. With over 40,000 followers on Facebook©, 2,900 followers on Twitter© and an active YouTube©, Flickr© and Blogger© account, the agency plans to blast out motorcycle safety messaging via these platforms. KSP Spokesman Lt. David Jude called on his staff to get 'proactive'about motorcycle safety when he reviewed the weekly FARS report (Fatality Analysis Reporting System) showing the spike in motorcycle crashes. "With the unseasonably warm weather we are having, more bikes are out on the road earlier than what motorists are used to seeing," says Jude. "With a nearly 70 percent increase in motorcycle related crashes already this year, we need to get in front of this trend and stop the unnecessary injuries and deaths on our roadways." Jude advised that the agency plans a weeklong social media campaign that includes launching a new YouTube video about motorcycle safety, Facebook and Twitter updates with safety messaging and a blog post from KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer about the project. "Our principle concern is to increase driver recognition of motorcyclists in traffic, while at the same time encouraging cyclists to engage in the overall safe operation of their bikes," adds Jude. "Being fiscally conservative, our agency does not have the financial resources to purchase media packages. We believe that by tapping into social media, we can still have a voice in proactive messaging, but at minimal expense." Through April 4, 2012, there have been 249 motorcycle related crashes resulting in 167 injuries and 9 deaths. When compared to crashes in 2011 for the same time period that calculates into a 69 percent increase in crashes; 75 percent increase in injuries; and 44 percent increase in deaths. Jude said the increase in motorcycle crashes and fatalities has stepped up the emphasis on the agency’s annual ‘Motorcycle Safety Day’ awareness program. This will be the 5th year that the agency will host the event that includes safety exhibits, motorcycle vendors, a news conference and a police escorted ride through scenic Kentucky. This program is scheduled for Friday, June 22, 2012 at KSP Headquarters in Frankfort. In addition to Safety Day, KSP will offer a free three-hour motorcycle safety seminar on May 17, 2012, taught by a certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation RiderCoach. "There’s often an obstacle facing new riders," says Jude. "They’d like to buy their first bike or maybe upgrade to a newer, more powerful one, but worry about their ability to handle it safely. Rider education programs are the answer for both beginning and seasoned riders. We advocate attending refresher courses that help riders keep their edge by sharpening their skills." Jude said that a motorcyclist is much more vulnerable than a passenger vehicle occupant in the event of a crash. Research from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) shows that motorcyclists are 34 times more likely to die in traffic crashes than passenger car occupants. Jude offers tips for drivers to help keep motorcyclists safe on our roadways. Remember, a motorcycle is a vehicle with all of the rights and privileges of any other motor vehicle. * Always allow a motorcyclist the full lane width—never try to share a lane. * Perform a visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or exiting a lane of traffic, and at intersections. * Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic. * Don’t be fooled by a flashing turn signal on a mo¬torcycle – motorcycle signals are often not self-canceling and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the motorcycle is going to turn before you proceed. * Allow more following distance - three or four sec¬onds - when behind a motorcycle so the motorcyclist has enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency. * Never tailgate. In dry conditions, motorcycles can stop more quickly than cars. * Never drive while distracted. The Kentucky Governor’s Commission on Motorcycle Education and Safety has a website with resources for riders including locations and dates for rider education classes. kentuckymotorcycleeducationandsafety.ky.govFor more information about the KSP ‘Motorcycle Safety Day’ program or the free motorcycle safety clinic please contact the Kentucky State Police at (502) 782-1780 or www.kentuckystatepolice.org The preceding press release was from Kentucky State Police Post 11 in London which serves the following Kentucky Counties: Clay, Laurel, McCreary, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Wayne, and Whitley.

(London, KY.) –- During the second week of April, Kentucky State Police telecommunications personnel at Post 11 in London will join more than 200,000 fellow communicators throughout the United States being recognized for their long hours and dedication to public safety.

"Our telecommunicators work on the front lines of public safety," says KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer.

It is fitting that we take this time to recognize their many contributions to the mission of the Kentucky State Police." KSP employs 187 telecommunicators at its 16 posts throughout the state. In 2011, statewide telecommunicators handled 529,175 calls. KSP, Post 11 in London has 9 telecommunicators, on staff, who handled calls from a 7-county area. Last year, they handled 21,504 calls.

'Click It or Ticket' enforcement mobilization aimed at increasing seat belt use day and night.
Police to be out in force through Memorial Day weekend Kentucky State Police Press Release
(Frankfort, KY.) – – (May 17, 2012) – Motorists who refuse to wear their seat belts – beware. The 2012 national "Click It or Ticket" Memorial Day seat belt enforcement mobilization kicks off May 21 to help save lives by cracking down on those who don't buckle up. Despite a wealth of data showing that seat belts save lives – and also despite implementation of a primary seat belt law – Kentucky's 82 percent seat belt usage rate lags behind the national rate of 84 percent. Therefore, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is supporting state and local law enforcement across the country in their efforts to strongly enforce seat belt laws around the clock. "Kentucky undoubtedly experiences far too many fatalities that could have been avoided with the simple use of a seat belt," said Transportation Cabinet Secretary Mike Hancock. "Clearly this is an indication that people are not taking the law seriously or they are just not aware of the huge risk taken by not buckling up." There were 721 total highway fatalities in Kentucky in 2011 with 576 killed in motor vehicles. Fifty-eight percent of those killed in motor vehicles were not wearing a seat belt. Hancock said the campaign this year will place extra emphasis on enforcement at nighttime, when fatal motor vehicle crashes are most likely to involve vehicle occupants who were not buckled up. Last year, 67 percent of people killed in crashes between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. were unrestrained. "Too many motorists don't realize the importance of wearing a seat belt, and are severely injured or killed because of it," said KOHS Director Bill Bell. "That's why officers are prepared to ticket anyone not buckled up. No warnings and no excuses." The KOHS awarded more than $300,000 in federal funds to 64 state and local police agencies across the Commonwealth to help bolster seat belt enforcement during the campaign. The funding is provided through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Although enforcement officers will be prevalent during the campaign, Bell emphasized, "The 'Click It or Ticket' campaign is not about writing tickets. It's about awareness and saving lives, and we are honored to have a family from Kentucky to help spread this message." The family of Megan Miller of Owensboro is featured in two KOHS public service announcements airing statewide during the enforcement campaign. Megan was killed at age 17 when she was ejected from a vehicle crash. "For her not to be wearing her seat belt that one day is all it took," says brother Myles. "You just don't think you will ever lose a child that young," says mother Mischelle. "We miss her so much, and we wanted to do these commercials in her memory. We know she will make a difference." According to NHTSA, seat belts, when worn correctly, reduce the risk of fatal injury to front-seat occupants by 45 percent – and by 60 percent in pickup trucks, SUVs and minivans. While this year's "Click It or Ticket" enforcement mobilization runs May 21 through June 3, motorists should know that officers are out enforcing seat belt laws year-round. "Motorists should buckle up every time they go out, both day and night," said Bell.

Providing high visibility enforcement in targeted areas with safety concerns. Kentucky has a mandatory seat belt law for all passengers. Occupants must buckle up – every time, every trip! The goal, of this initiative, is to save lives by reducing the number of fatal and incapacitating crashes on Kentucky roads. An emphasis will be placed on: Driving Under the Influence, Speeding, Work Zone Related Speeding, Occupant Protection (seatbelts, car and booster seats) and Driver Inattention Violations.
