The National Law Enforcement Roadway Safety (NLERS) Program provides a suite of no-cost training, technical assistance, and resources to local, state, and tribal law enforcement agencies to prevent officer injuries and fatalities from officer-involved collisions and struck-by incidents. NLERS, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance, is a collaborative effort between the National Policing Institute and the Institute for Intergovernmental Research.

NLERS offers in-person, virtual, and on-demand courses for executives, patrol officers, and trainers. These courses outline risk factors for officer-involved collisions and struck-by incidents and identify a variety of interventions and technological innovations that can reduce risk. Developed by a national working group of subject matter experts, these evidence-based courses draw heavily from proven successes in the field and widely recognized traffic incident management principles to provide participants with actionable steps, skills, and resources to improve officer safety on the roadways. Where applicable and in accordance with state accreditation standards, NLERS offers credits for its courses.

NLERS offers a variety of self-paced training courses and instructional videos that accommodate officers’ busy schedules. Training topics include commentary driving, managing distractions while driving, peer-to-peer accountability, emergency vehicle technology, mitigating struck-by incidents, and vehicle pursuits. Certificates of completion are provided at the conclusion of each course.
