Each traffic accident can take an officer off the streets for up to two hours!
A 2022 study found that 63.8 % of accidents had no injuries, no citable actions and required no police involvement except to write a report.
MOST MID-SIZE AND LARGE CITY POLICE AGENCIES ARE CALLED TO MORE THAN 3000 NON-INJURY AND PRIVATE PROPERTY ACCIDENTS EVERY YEAR… AND THOSE NUMBER ARE CLIMBING!
According to the insurance industry’s own statistics, those numbers are rapidly growing due to:
-
multiple vehicle families
-
expansion in commercial fleets
-
increased population
-
inattentive drivers
-
excessive speeds
-
drivers talking on the phone
