Using TSRPs
A Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor (TSRP) is generally a current or former prosecutor who provides training, education and technical support to traffic crimes prosecutors and law enforcement agencies throughout their state. Traffic crimes and safety issues include but are not limited to: alcohol and/or drug impaired driving, vehicular homicide, occupant restraint and other highway safety issues Each TSRP must assess the needs and demands unique to his or her own state and work in conjunction with many agencies to meet these needs. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), law enforcement agencies, crime laboratories (including forensic toxicologists), medical examiners, local media, governor’s highway traffic safety offices (GHTSO), and victim advocate groups should all be utilized to facilitate services to all prosecutors and law enforcement.
