• Community presentations of traffic safety issues like distracted or impaired driving and speeding
• Collaborative enforcement efforts with neighboring agencies
• Officer training and/or recertification in Standard Field Sobriety Test and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement.

“We are grateful to receive this grant, which will strengthen our traffic enforcement efforts and improve road safety,” Livermore Police Department Sergeant Harrison said in a statement. “Through a combination of education and enforcement efforts, our goal is to reduce dangerous driving behaviors, prevent crashes, and make our roads safer for everyone."
