DETALLES:

WORKING TOGETHER TO STOP DISTRACTED DRIVING

April is recognized as National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. En California, la Oficina de Seguridad Vial (OTS), Departamento de Policía de Oxnard, CHP, aplicación de la ley local, y los socios de la comunidad en todo el estado están trabajando juntos para hacer que las carreteras sean más seguras al resaltar los peligros de distraerse mientras se conduce, especialmente por teléfonos celulares.

“Law enforcement would rather see everyone off their cell phones than hand out a lot of tickets,” said Rhonda Craft, director of the Office of Traffic Safety. “Take care of calling, enviar mensajes de texto, setting your GPS and everything else before you hit the street.”

Lawmakers agree that distracted driving continues to be a growing problem among California’s motorists. proyecto de ley de la asamblea 1785 went into effect on January 1^er, requiring all drivers in California to keep their cell phone out of their hands while operating a motor vehicle. Under the new law, a driver may activate or deactivate a feature or function of the cell phone or wireless communication device by swiping or tapping its screen only if it is properly mounted or not being held in a driver’s hand. Specific information on the new law can be found at www.ots.ca.gov.

The Office of Traffic Safety will begin a new public awareness campaign throughout the state in April emphasizing how the new law makes virtually all hand-held cell phone activity illegal – talking, enviar mensajes de texto, and using apps. The campaign aims to end distracted driving through education and raise awareness about the associated dangers. The goal is to change motorist behaviors and save lives, not just in the month of April but year-round.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 3,477 people were killed and an estimated 391,000 injured in motor vehicle collisions involving distracted drivers in 2015. That is a 9 percent increase in fatalities as compared to the previous year.

The Oxnard Police Department will join other law enforcement agencies throughout the state to provide educational experiences as well as zero tolerance enforcement efforts to discourage distracted driving. Officers will have a special emphasis this month on enforcing all cell phone and distracted driving laws. The goal is to gain voluntary compliance by drivers, but sometimes citations are necessary for motorists to better understand the importance of driving distraction free.

The Oxnard Police Department is deploying extra traffic officers with grant-funded resources on April 4, 2017, y abril 18, 2017, in city locations with higher numbers of traffic collisions. Violators will be stopped and cited with fines set at $162 for first-time offenders. This campaign is funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, través de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial.

DETALLES: The Oxnard Police Department is pleased to announce an online reporting portal that will allow businesses to report crimes, upload documents and submit suspect photos for faster service. Businesses will no longer have to wait for police to arrive and complete the report as the businesses can now report these incidents 24 horas al día, 7 days a week regardless of calls pending within the city. Businesses can log onto the Oxnard Police Department website and access the online reporting system to get the reports filed instantly. Businesses without internet access are welcome to use the service centers located inside of the Oxnard Police Department lobby.

En 2016, the Oxnard Police Department had 7,061 confirmed property crimes with a majority of those crimes being theft related. With so many thefts occurring at businesses, reports are often prioritized, causing the patrol officer to have a delayed response. Many of these reports are time consuming, so an officer may be on the call for a significant time. By having the businesses file their own reports, officers will be available for more immediate emergency calls. This partnership will allow more uncommitted patrol time for officers to focus on crime prevention efforts.

The Oxnard Police Department would like to thank our local businesses for doing their part to provide better service to our community.
