The purpose of this project was to combine the information received from state law enforcement agencies through a resource document and observations made during site visits to ten states relating to NMSL enforcement practices and procedures during one phase of the work effort with evaluations made of various NMSL enforcement configurations (combinations of police personnel, equipment and assigned responsibilities) during a second phase of the work effort into this document, designed to provide information by which state law enforcement administrators may design or study their NMSL enforcement programs most effectively. |

| Abstract: |
The effects of patrol vehicle visibility (marked cars, unmarked cars and aircraft) and availability of additional personnel or speed measuring devices (speedometer only, moving radar, moving radar and stopwatch, and speedometer with stopwatch) are related to their effects on cost effectiveness, productivity and special classes of violators. Recommendations include reducing the visibility of vehicles used in NMSL enforcement and increasing the availability of moving radar and stopwatches to officers for detecting and measuring speeds of violators.
