PART A -PROBLEM STATEMENT _ w
1)Describe the situation,Include data and any other information to establish the existing conditions.
2)State why this situation is undesirable.
3)What are the causes?
4)Identify changes needed to resolve the identified problem(s).
Weld County, according to the Colorado State Patrol, has for several years been ranked in the top
• three counties in Colorado for traffic related deaths. Weld County in 1999 had 61 fatal accidents
with the majority occurring on county roads at intersections. The entire State of Colorado had
626 fatalities. Weld County's population only accounts for 4% of Colorado's population but
accounts for 9% of traffic fatalities, 5% of all accidents handled by the Colorado State Patrol and
6% of all DUI arrests. Even though Colorado's number of traffic fatalities has declined since the
640 deaths in 1995, Weld County's death rate has risen from 48 in 1995 to 60 in 1998. This
trend is continuing.
Weld County is an extremely large county consisting of 4,017 square miles and over 3,000 miles
of unpaved roads, highways and interstates. Two thirds of the county is currently in agricultural
use but land usage is rapidly changing from agricultural to residential and commercial. There are
two interstate highways that cross Weld County as well as ten state highways. The Denver
International Airport (DIA) is located just south of the Weld County/Adams County border.
Weld County over the past decade has experienced a dramatic growth rate of 27.3% as compared
to the rest of Colorado at 21.4%. Projections for future growth show an ever increasing
population. Estimates are that Weld County in the next decade will surpass Douglas County and
will become the fastest growing county in the nation. As the empty space around DIA fills with
airport related activities and enterprises,population and congestion will move into the southeast
portion of the county. As the Denver Metropolitan Area expands northward the congestion and
population of the southwest portion of the county will increase. Property along the I-25 corridor
is quickly moving from farm fields to residential and commercial property. Several communities
such as Windsor, Johnstown, Milliken, Meade and Eaton are becoming "bedroom" communities
for Fort Collins, Denver, Longmont, Cheyenne, and Greeley. These commuters again add to the
congestion and traffic related issues faced by the residents of the county.
An example of just some of the traffic volumes encountered on Weld County roads are:
* Interstate 25 at the Weld/Larimer County line - 48,519 vehicles per day(12.71% trucks)
* State Highway 34 at the west Greeley City limits - 16,224 vehicles per day
* State Highway 52 at the Boulder/Weld County line - 9,529 vehicles per day
* State Highway 60 at the intersection of Interstate 25 - 4,801 vehicles per day
* State Highway 66 at the Boulder/Weld County line- 12,925 vehicles per day
* Interstate 76 at the Lochbuie interchange - 10,357 vehicles per day (23.84% trucks)
* State Highway 85 at the Adams/Weld County line - 18,709 vehicles per day (7.53%
trucks)
1
* State Highway 392 at the Larimer/Weld county line - 11,970 vehicles per day
A 1996 traffic volume map of the Greeley Area is attached in addendum#1.
Weld County accounts for 4% of all of the vehicles registered in the State of Colorado.
However, the configuration of those registrations varies greatly from other counties within the
state. Seven percent of Weld County's vehicle registrations are to farm trucks and tractors. This
number may be under represented because many farm implements (farm tractors, feed trucks,
bale wagons, ect...) do not have to be registered under Colorado state law. These vehicles
impose special hazards due to their size, speed and lack of safety equipment. Additionally, these
statistics on vehicle registration do not apply to over the road commercial semi-trucks which
utilize the interstate and state highway systems throughout Weld County.
Weld County also has a large population of young people. This is possibly due to the affordable
housing offered in Weld County which attracts young families with children. According to the
State of Colorado 32% of the population of Weld County are under the age of twenty( SEE
ADDENDUM#2). In the past two years five individuals under the age of eighteen have been
killed on Weld County roads. The number of young drivers is expected to increase due to the
increase of population and this population group getting to the driving age.
Due to Weld County's agricultural needs many individuals immigrate from Mexico and South
America. Many never owned a vehicle in their native countries. This population may not be
attuned to the driving laws in the State of Colorado like those individuals who began driving in
this state or in the United States.
Drugs and alcohol continue to be a major cause of traffic related injury and death in Weld
County. Fifty percent of the fatal accidents in Weld County in 1999 had drugs or alcohol as a
contributing factor. (SEE ADDENDUM#3).
Additionally, seat belts are also a major factor in the deaths and injuries sustained on Weld
County roads. Forty eight percent of those killed on Weld County roads in 1999 were not
wearing their seat belts. Seat belt usage has risen in Weld County since 1995 but still almost half
of those individuals driving are not wearing their seat belts (SEE ADDENDUM#3).
Many of the county's residents have requested some sort of traffic enforcement through the
Sheriffs Office (SEE ADDENDUM#4). Until this time the Sheriff's Office has held the
philosophy that traffic enforcement and education would duplicate efforts of the Colorado State
Patrol. Because of the growth and traffic on unincorporated roadway, the time has come for the
Weld County Sheriff's Office to begin a dedicated traffic safety division. This division would
address the issues mentioned above through education, enforcement, and public information.
The Weld County Sheriffs Office is requesting grant funding over a three year period to assist in
the formation of such a division. At the conclusion of the three year plan, Weld County would
assume total financial responsibility for continued and on going staffing and operation of the
traffic division. Strategic plans for addressing these problems can be found in the goals section
2
of this grant packet.

PART B - PROPOSED ACTIVITIES - SHORT TERM
GOAL: Increased ability to effectively respond to traffic-related resident complaints, improve
community relations, and maintain or improve quality of life in county neighborhoods.
TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when.
Within 12 months two deputies and one supervisor will be selected and trained to handle
resident's traffic related complaints. Through increased response to citizen needs, community
relations should improve and the quality of life in Weld County neighborhoods will be enhanced.
As the population continues to grow and additional traffic related issues arise additional deputies
will be added to the division. In the second year of this grant an additional two deputies will be
added and in the final year one additional deputy will be introduced. After the third year the
traffic division will consist of one supervisor and five deputies working exclusively on traffic
related enforcement and education. The Weld County Sheriff's Office is currently providing
patrol and corrections officers to teach teenagers to drive. The Sheriff's Office in conjunction
with Aims Community College, School District Six and other law enforcement agencies provide
driver education training to teenagers preparing to drive. Officers donate their time and the
revenues derived from not having to pay for instructors is returned to the driving program to fund
a scholarship program for families that can not afford the driving school(See Addendum 10).
GOAL: Increased general traffic enforcement and traffic education activities in proportion with
greater and increasing traffic volume on unincorporated, county roadways.
TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when.
Utilizing the problem oriented policing concept the officers listed above will be able to more
easily identify problem areas and respond more efficiently and effectively. Working in
conjunction with the Colorado State Patrol and educational efforts they already have in place,
more educational programs will be introduced into Weld County schools located in
unincorporated areas and those serving county residents. These programs will also work in
conjunction with Community Resource Officers with are already working with communities and
schools throughout the county. This task should be in place and functioning by the beginning of
the 2000 school year.
GOAL: Improve traffic accident investigation, data collection, and data analysis capability.
1
TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when.
The Weld County Sheriff's Office currently has three traffic survey devices which measure
vehicle's speed, time of day, and type of vehicle. One of these devices also provides drives with
immediate feedback as to their speed in hopes of having drivers practice self policing. Each of
these devices provides software to analyze the data that they gather. Each of the deputies
selected for the traffic division will be sent to training to enhance his or her accident
investigation abilities. Several deputies within the Weld County Sheriff's Office are already
certified as accident investigators. Training for both the supervisor and deputies will be
accomplished within one year of their selection to the traffic division. This training will include
not only accident investigation but also traffic management and analysis. In addition to the
traffic survey devices owned by the Sheriffs Office the Weld County Engineering Department
owns another seventeen units which they have agreed to utilize as needed. The traffic engineer
will also be working closely with the Weld County Traffic Division as needed.
GOAL: Improve technical expertise to effectively manage traffic services focusing on program
planning, identification of problems, and evaluation enforcement countermeasures.
TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when.
Selection of the deputies and supervisor for the traffic division will include looking for deputies
that are problem solvers and are innovative in their approach to law enforcement issues. While
in the traffic division the deputies and their supervisor will be encouraged to fmd creative and
innovative approaches to traffic issues. They will be encouraged to look at long range solutions
while working with communities and other stake holders to solve traffic related issues. The
deputies and supervisor of the division will also receive training on such topics as strategic
planning, problem solving, community policing and other community building courses. Training
for both the supervisor and deputies will be accomplished within one year of their selection to the
traffic division.
GOAL: Improved technical expertise to effectively analyze, evaluate, and formulate
recommendations regarding traffic in response to the Planning and Zoning development review
process.
TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when.
The Board of Weld County Commissioners have already requested that the Sheriff's Office
provide recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Department regarding traffic related issues
surrounding new building development approvals. The supervisor and deputies assigned to the
2
traffic division will receive training for making these recommendations. The traffic division will
develop an on going relationship with the Planning and Zoning Department, the Board of County
Commissioners, and the developers within the county to make these recommendations. A
regularly scheduled evaluation process would be developed within 12 months to accomplish this
goal. Training for both the supervisor and deputies will be accomplished within one year of
their selection to the traffic division.
PART B - PROPOSED ACTIVITIES - LONG TERM
GOAL: Reduced frequency and severity of traffic accidents on unincorporated county roadways.
TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when.
Within the first year of operation the traffic division will compile a data base of accidents, traffic
related problems, and problem areas throughout the county. After compiling this data strategies
will be developed to positively impact these problem areas. An analysis of this data will be
conducted annually to determine if these strategies have been successful. Educational programs
will also be evaluated annually to determine if they are raising the awareness of drivers, students
and citizens. An annual report will be produced by the supervisor of the traffic division outlining
problem areas, solutions, and the success or failure of those solutions. Evaluation of educational
programs will involve pre- and post tests as well as longitudinal surveys. In an endeavor to
accomplish this goal the Weld County Sheriffs Office is currently working on a dynamic driving
course which would enable students to operate their vehicles in simulated hazardous conditions.
These situation would include high speed lane changes, slick pavement, tight cornering, and
actions to mitigate injuries or deaths in automobile crashes.
GOAL: Reduced frequency of fatal traffic accidents on unincorporated county roadways.
TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when.
Each fatal traffic accident occurring on unincorporated roads within the county will be analyzed
and critiqued to determine cause(s) and possible remedies to stop a reoccurrence. Strategies will
then be devised to provide those remedies. As part of the traffic division supervisor's annual
report, a synopsis of each fatal accident and strategies to stop a reoccurrence will be included. In
an endeavor to accomplish this goal the Weld County Sheriffs Office is currently working on a
dynamic driving course which would enable students to operate their vehicles in simulated
hazardous conditions. These situation would include high speed lane changes, slick pavement,
tight cornering, and actions to mitigate injuries or deaths in automobile crashes.
3
GOAL: Increase community satisfaction regarding the effectiveness of traffic enforcement
activities.
TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when.
Through increased response to citizen needs, community relations should improve and the
quality of life in Weld County neighborhoods should be enhanced. As the population continues
to grow and additional traffic related issues arise additional deputies will be added to the
division. In the second year of this grant an additional two deputies will be added and in the
final year one additional deputy will be selected. After the third year the traffic division will
consist of one supervisor and five deputies working exclusively on traffic related enforcement
and education. Utilizing the problem oriented policing concept the officers listed above will be
able to more easily identify problem areas and respond more efficiently and effectively.
Working in conjunction with the Colorado State Patrol and educational efforts they already have
in place, more educational programs will be introduced into Weld County schools located in
unincorporated areas and those serving county residents. These programs will also work in
conjunction with Community Resource Officers which are already working with communities
and schools throughout the county. This task should be in place and functioning by the
beginning of the 2000 school year. The Weld County Sheriffs Office is currently surveying
citizens that it's deputies contact. This data base includes community satisfaction issues.
GOAL: Improve mitigation of traffic impacts from new development and growth.
TASKS: State what is to be accomplished and when.
Selection of the deputies and supervisor for the traffic division will include looking for deputies
that are problem solvers and are innovative in their approach to law enforcement issues. While
in the traffic division the deputies and their supervisor will be encouraged to find creative and
innovative approaches to traffic issues. They will be encouraged to look at long range solutions
while working with communities and other stake holders to solve traffic related issues. The
deputies and supervisor of the division will also receive training on such topics as strategic
planning, problem solving, community policing and other community building courses. The
Board of Weld County Commissioners have already requested that the Sheriffs Office provide
recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Department regarding traffic related issues
surrounding new building development approvals. The supervisor and deputies assigned to the
traffic division will receive training for making these recommendations. The traffic division will
develop an on going relationship with the Planning and Zoning Department, the Board of County
Commissioners, and the developers within the county to make these recommendations. A
regularly scheduled evaluation process would be developed within 12 months to accomplish this
4
goal. In addition to this, the Weld County has a traffic engineer currently on staff which will be
working closely with the traffic division to mitigate traffic impacts throughout the county.
A time line for this project can be found in Addendum#5.

RE: High speed traffic on WCR 32 '/2
Dear Mr. Jordan:
Along with another party, I am a member of a Limited Liability Corporation which owns 615
acres in section 14, T. 3 N., R. 67 W., Weld County. County Road 21 borders our property on the
west and WCR 32 '/2 passes in an east-west direction through the middle of the property.
About two years ago the county contracted for a new bridge to be built for WCR 32 '/z over
the South Platte River in section 14. The previous Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Power Plant (now being
converted to natural gas) exists about 1 '/2 miles northwest of our property.
We have three dwellings on our property: one we use when we are at the farm, and two which
we rent out to others, including families with children. We also lease out farming and grazing rights
on the property. Thus, between family traffic on WCR 32 % and livestock and farming equipment
crossing the road, we have frequent use of the road.
Now, here's the problem: Workers at the power plant, and others in the area as well, use
WCR 32 '/2 as a high speed expressway both in going to work and after getting off work. We have
observed vehicles going at least 75 miles per hour on this stretch of road. We have also observed
some of the vehicles (usually just after 5 PM) racing each other eastward on 32 'A from WCR 21.
There is a hill on our farm and the drivers of east-bound vehicles cannot see what may lie just over
the hill; someone is going to get injured or killed.
OUR REQUEST: 1)Post speed limit signs on WCR 32''A for traffic going both east and west
on 32 'A. We suggest about 45 miles per hour, after all, the paved portion of 32 '/2 is only about 2
miles long. To my knowledge there are no speed limit signs on this stretch of road at the present
time. 2) After the signs have been up for about one week, we would like to see speed surveillance
carried out, especially for east-bound traffic from about 4:45 to 5:45 on weekday afternoons. 3)The
ideal spot for a surveillance vehicle to be parked would be near our old yellow barn at the foot of the
hill on east-bound 32 'A WCR.

EXAMPLES OF SOME *CONCERNED CITIZEN* QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT MARCH
22, 1999 MEETING AT RINN CHURCH
In the near future, will there additional sheriff*s deputies assigned. 00,,,, for patrol in this district to ensure adequate law enforcement and
provision for citizen*s safety needs resulting from increased
residential, industrial and commercial populations in the MUD area? A
/ deputy cannot respond to calls in the Fort Lupton and MUD areas at the
same time. It is not fair to rely on local municipal agencies to respond
to county jurisdiction calls. There is no provision in this year*s
budget for such deputies and no evidence that there is an ongoing study
for such need even though the need is obvious to local citizens.
'There is a need to slow traffic, in particular gravel trucks, especially
0 along WCRs 7 and 2-0-1/2. in the Rinn area for public safety. There is a
;• ,).'I 35 mile limit on WCR 7 but it is frequently not observed. Would you
r direct Public Works to conduct a study and the Sheriff*s Dept. to better
`--patrol these roads?
There is a dangerous intersection at the east frontage road of I-25 and
WCR 20 where it emerges from the box culvert under the interstate with
O little visibility of the high speed traffic along the east frontage
' t , road. Would you have public works consider making this intersection a 4

rIt is our understanding that there are plans to widen WCR7 to four lanes
with acceleration and turn lanes of an arterial road. Are steps being
taken to obtain sufficient right of way through development dedications

PLAN: The initial Traffic Division model serves as a foundation for a more comprehensive long-term program. The proposed model
provides initial increased visibility and more rapid responsiveness to complaints while focusing on training, education, data collection
and analysis as tools to develop and implement a comprehensive traffic services program in the long-term. Continuity between short
and long term objectives would be improved if personnel initially involved would be the same personnel planning for the long term.
The Traffic Division plan would be implemented over a three-year period. Three positions, including a supervisor, would be added in
the first year, two positions the second, and one in the third. This phased-in implementation allows for professional traffic
management and technical training as a basis for long-range programming.

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT
VOLUNTEER DRIVER'S EDUCATION INSTRUCTOR PROJECT
INFORMATIONAL MEETING
March 24 and 28, 2000
Due to the number of young people that die in traffic accidents, there has been an out-cry in
Greeley for the school district to start a driver's education program. A couple of months ago,
School District 6 agreed to look at the program, if there was enough interest. School District 6
then advised that they did not feel there was an interest, as only six students had signed up for the
program.
Sheriff Jordan attended the February meeting of the Committee to Reduce Fatal Traffic
Accidents. Out of that meeting, some information was brought forth, dealing with a project that
is taking place in Summit and El Paso Counties. This program deals with teaching young drivers
dynamic driving skills. As we looked at the two programs, it was decided that,where the most
impact could be made, is in the area of driver's education.
What could law enforcement do, to help out in this area. The three driving schools located in
Greeley were contacted. The two private schools advised that the only area they could see law
enforcement helping them,was to be guest speakers from time-to-time. Aims Community
College was contacted, and said that they had several ideas on how we could help, and requested
that we meet with them.
On February 17, 2000, I meet with several people from Aims Community College. During the
meeting, they advised that as they thought about people form the law enforcement community
becoming involved in their driver's education program, the more excited they became. Aims
operates driver's education programs at both their Greeley and Fort Lupton campus'. During the
last school year, they conducted eight driver's education classes. The cost of their program is
$210.00 per student. They require a minimum of 10 students per class, and will allow up to a
maximum of 30 students in each class. Each student receives 20 hours of classroom instruction,
and 14 hours in the vehicle. The time in the vehicle is broken down into two areas, 7 hours of
driving, and 7 hours of observation. The students are broken up into to two student teams, and
are assigned a driving instructor. The students and driving instructor are expected to stay
together for the 14 hours of instruction. Throughout the course of instruction, the student will
receive their written test, so they will be able to obtain their learners permit, and their driving
test, so that they will be able to obtain their driver's license.
What Aims Community College would like, is for law enforcement to do the driving instruction.
Aims, through their own staff will continue to provide the instructors for the classroom portion,
and the actual driving test. With the understanding, that we are all volunteering our time for this
project, Aims will put into a fund$15.00 per instructor hour. This fund will go towards giving
scholarships to families that can not afford the cost of drivers education. This fund will then be
administered through Aims Community College,with law enforcement representation.
Some of the questions that have been asked:
1. How do I become a driving instructor?
A. The driving instructor from Aims will work with all individuals interested. She
will take groups of 2 or 3, and spend some driving time with them. Possibly 2 - 3
hours. She will show how the instruction is to be done, and what to look for. The
only thing that she requests is that each person bring a pad and pen with them to
take notes throughout the instruction.
2. How much of a time commitment will there be on my part?
A. Each pair of students is required to take part in 14 hours of observation/driving.
This is to be done in 2 hour blocks of time. Each pair is students is expected to
complete their observation/driving time within 4 to 6 weeks.
3. Why only two hour blocks of observation/drive time?
A. Aims Community College has found that the more opportunities a student has to
do something, the more they retain. This way, they will get 7 sessions in a car.
4. What times of the day will we be giving instruction?
A. To date, instruction has been given all hours of the day, 7 days a week. Aims
does not want any of the students out after 2030 hours to 2100 hours. Not that
they do not trust any of the instructors, but equipment needs to be put back and
secured prior to the college closing for the night.
5. What will we be using for vehicles to give driving instruction?
A. Aims has at present, 3 vehicles. As the program expands, more vehicles can be
added to the fleet. One of the vehicles has a standard transmission. Each student
is expected to drive at least one session in the vehicle with a standard
transmission.
6. Is there any compensation for being a driving instructor?
A. The way the program is set up, there would be no compensation through Aims
Community College. I can not speak for other agencies, but can address the
Sheriff's Office. This is strictly a volunteer program. It will need to be done on
the individuals own time, on a volunteer basis. The only concession that is being
made, is that if you are a member of one of the Sheriff's Office volunteer units,
have gone through one of the basic academies, still owe time towards the 100
hours pay-back, this time can count towards that.
7. How do I know if I am going to become a driving instructor?
A. Once all potential driving instructors have had an opportunity to work with the
Aims driving instructor, you will have a pretty good idea. They are looking for
people that will have a good working relationship with 15 and 16 year olds, still
being able to give them instruction, and being able to make corrections.
8. Will I be expected to continue with each subsequent class?
A. At present, there are about 29 people that have shown an interest in the program.
I have been contacted by other agencies that did not get the information out to
their officers until the 22. I would expect more interest from the other agencies.
Preference will be given to first-come-first-serve. If you want to do one class
right after the other, you could, but it looks like we are going to have enough
interest that you could do every other class if you wanted to.
9. Where do we go from here?
A. After the meeting on March 28, 2000, all information will be submitted to Aims.
Once they get all of the names and times that would work best for you to take part
in the program they will be contacting you to set up your instruction time.

To Whom it May Concern,
This letter is in support of a grant application by the Weld County Sheriffs Office for the
development of a traffic unit within the office of the Sheriff.
Weld County is growing at a tremendous rate and as a result traffic needs are multiplying. The
development of a traffic unit within the Weld County Sheriffs Office is the only logical way to
deal with all of the issues which increase population and increase use of our highways bring. By
developing such a unit, the Weld County Sheriffs Office will be able to exercise enforcement
duties, educate the public on traffic issues and traffic laws, as well as analyze the ongoing and
growing needs within our county.
Because the Weld County Sheriffs Office has jurisdiction throughout the entire county, it is
logical that a traffic unit be established at this time. We are a large county, comprising
approximately four thousand square miles with many miles of county, state, and federal
highways where vehicles are operating at high rates of speed.
I would strongly urge granting the Weld County Sheriffs Office request for funding to establish
a traffic unit within their department.
Very truly yours,
A.M. Dominguez, Jr. "--
