Police Traffic Services and Oregon Highway Safety Standards
Federal highway safety standards push Oregon toward a balanced police traffic supervision. The state lacks adequately trained manpower with 2,250 local and 500 state police, missing the 1.9 officers per 1,000 population benchmark. It urges selective enforcement, post crash response, and immediate accident notice, noting manpower and records gaps. For more, contact the Oregon Traffic Safety Commission in Salem.
