AS <br />R P R, 1 S INIAL �JG V [ N T F$" <br />I . <br />Grant Requirements Acknowledgement Form for High Visibility Enforcement <br />(HVE) Mobilizations <br />WEMS Grant ID: 2020-HVE-3772-Washington Traffic Safety Commission <br />This document is intended to guide law enforcement agencies, Target Zero Managers (TZM), <br />and Law Enforcement Liaisons (LEL), in conducting overtime mobilizations funded by federal <br />highway safety grant funds to address impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, and <br />motorcycle safely. These requirements are mandatory in accordance with signed HVE <br />Interagency Agreements (IAA), and all exceptions to these requirements must be pre -approved <br />by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) prior to the emphasis patrol(s). <br />This document highlights the key responsibilities of the SUB -RECIPIENT Project Manager, the <br />WTSC, Target Zero Managers (TZM), and Law Enforcement Liaisons (LEL). This document <br />does not replace the comprehensive information detailed in the IAA. The information in the IAA <br />takes precedence over this document. <br />Before beginning work on this grant project, the SUB -RECIPIENT Project Manager should <br />thoroughly read and understand the terms of the IAA. This Grant Requirements <br />Acknowledgement Form provides an explanation of some key terms and highlights, but is not <br />comprehensive. If the SUB -RECIPIENT Project Manager has questions after reviewing this <br />document, please contact the WTSC Program Manager assigned to this grant. <br />When you, the grant Project Manager, acknowledge this document, you certify that you <br />understand the grant requirements and agree to fully comply with the terms and conditions set <br />forth in the IAA, as well as additional federal requirements outlined in the Code of Federal <br />Regulations for Federal Grants and Agreements, as referenced below. <br />If anything in this document conflicts with the IAA, the IAA takes precedence. <br />PURPOSE AND METHODS OF HVE: <br />The objective of HVE campaigns is to change driver behavior by increasing the perceived risk of <br />arrest. To do this, law enforcement agencies deploy saturation patrols — the concentration of a <br />large number of officers in a small geographic area. These patrols should be publicized <br />extensively and conducted regularly, as part of an ongoing saturation patrol program. This is <br />achieved with: <br />• Increased law enforcement activities targeting specific driving violations. Law <br />enforcement presence must appear to be greater than typical to create a real or perceived <br />omnipresence. The enforcement plan is coordinated by the LEL and TZM. <br />• Public education and media activities coordinated by WTSC, TZM, and/or LEL <br />
