Partners for Prevention in Allegany County is pleased to be partnering with law enforcement agencies
in Allegany County as we work together to reduce risks to our kids!
FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW from the National Safety Council
Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for young adults between the ages of 16 and 24.
16- to 24-year-old drivers only make up 14% of all drivers, yet they are involved in 28% of all collisions.
Young drivers are involved in fatal traffic crashes at over twice the rate of the rest of the population.
More than 11,000 people aged 15 to 24 were killed in crashes in 2002, and 5,940 of those were drivers and passengers in vehicles operated by
drivers ages 16 to 20.
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
Sheriffs Telling our Parents & Promoting Educated Drivers, more commonly known as S.T.O.P.P.E.D, is an environmental strategy that
originated from the Onondaga Sheriffs Office in Syracuse, NY and is sponsored by the New York State Sheriffs Association.
In January 2008, STOPPED was officially implemented in Allegany County.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Parents voluntarily register, with the Allegany County Sheriff's Office, any motor vehicle that will be operated by a driver under the age of 21.
2. An identification decal is issued and affixed to the upper left side of the windshield of each registered vehicle.
3. If, for any reason, the registered vehicle, when operated by a driver under the age of 21, is stopped by law enforcement, the officer will complete a
notification card providing the following information:
4. Notifications are mailed directly to parents to make them aware of potential problems, enabling them to enforce any parental rules that often coexist
with teenage driving privileges. The Sheriffs Office only keeps a database of addresses and does not keep any other information and it doesn't go on
the child's or parents records...in fact, no information is kept at all.
The Sheriff's Office offers parents this voluntary notification system to extend their watchful eyes and raise the awareness of drivers under the age of
21. This program provides young drivers with a visible reminder of parental supervision and provides parents with the means of correcting behavior
before it is too late.
