Sheriff Recognized for Proactive Traffic
Safety Initiative(Sheriffs Plan Integrates into Marylands
Overall Strategic Highway Safety Plan)
Harford County Sheriff, L. Jesse Bane, was recently recognized
by the Maryland Highway Safety Office for his work asChairman of
the Harford County Traffic Safety Task Force, an initiative
established by the Harford County Council for the
purpose of identifying resources to target efforts to enforce
traffic laws, reduce traffic crashes andeliminate traffic
fatalities.
The award, recently presented to the Sheriff at the Maryland
Sheriffs Association Conference,
recognized his leadership in leading this initiative and
integrating the recommendations of the taskforce as part of the
overall objectives set forth by the Maryland Highway Safety Offices
StrategicHighway Safety Plan. The goal of Marylands Plan is to
reduce motor vehicle-related fatalities andinjuries. Additionally,
it focuses on issues that cause the greatest number of traffic
safety problems, aswell as the geographic areas where traffic
crashes are most prevalent. Like Maryland, areas on whichHarford
County will concentrate are distracted driving, impaired driving,
aggressive driving, highwayinfrastructure, the wearing of seat
belts and pedestrian safety.
At the request of Councilman Chad Shrodes the Harford County
Council, by resolution, created the Task Force.Representatives of
the Traffic Safety Task Force include the Harford County Sheriff's
Office, Maryland State PoliceBelAir and JFK Barracks, and the
Police Departments of Aberdeen, Bel Air, and Havre de Grace, along
with representativesfrom Harford County government, community
organizations, and community members. Task Force members
studied
Harford Countys Traffic Safety Issues and just recently released
its final report to the Council.
The Sheriff said he was honored to receive the award noting what
everyone already recognizesone traffic fatality is onetoo many. We
need to work together as a community to raise driver awareness and
change bad driving habits, Bane said.
Traffic enforcement is a countywide issue not the sole
responsibility of any one agency. I appreciate that everyone
-police, government and community members - are involved and have
joined forces in this initiative. I am confident byworking together
we can reduce traffic injuries and eliminate traffic fatalities in
Harford County, he concluded.
The Maryland Sheriffs Conference was recently held in Ocean
City. Access URL below additional info:http:
