Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The host police department experienced 58 traffic collisions from 2019-2020, which resulted in adverse outcomes for police officers and community members. The police department seeks a solution to reduce and prevent future collisions. This problem is not an isolated incident, as traffic collisions have been the leading cause of death and injury to police officers in the United States for the last three decades. Previous research focused on the causative factors of traffic collisions (speeding, distracted driving); however, little research has been dedicated to why a police officer would engage in risky driving. Is the mindset of a police officer …

Strategically Addressing Transportation Barriers To Primary Care In Rural Clinics, Regina L. Atkins
Strategically Addressing Transportation Barriers To Primary Care In Rural Clinics, Regina L. Atkins
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
