Traffic Safety Program
Traffic Safety Law Enforcement and Prosecutor Training Project
The Arkansas State Police Highway Safety Office provides grant
funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) to support the Criminal Justice Institute’s Traffic
Safety Law Enforcement and Prosecutor Training Project, the
central source of nationally recognized
traffic safety certification courses for Arkansas law
enforcement. Available programs include:
- DWI Detection and Standardized

In addition, the Arkansas State Police Highway Safety Office provides NHTSA grant funds to support the Law Enforcement Liaison Project. One facet of this program is to provide a law enforcement liaison who promotes the year-round participation of Arkansas law enforcement agencies in Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs (STEP) and non-STEP programs. The Law Enforcement Liaison program promotes the participation of Arkansas law enforcement agencies in two annual nationwide traffic enforcement-related campaigns titled Click it or Ticket (CIOT) and Drunk Driving “Over the Limit, Under Arrest.”
In addition, the Law Enforcement Liaison conducts annual regional occupant protection/impaired driving conferences. These conferences promote increased enforcement of impaired driving, seat belt and child restraint laws, as well as promote participation in state and national traffic enforcement campaigns.
Dates, locations, and times for Traffic Safety Program courses can be found here.
