Together, We're Working for a Safer Way

Our vision is to prevent these tragedies and save the lives of innocent bystanders and our police officers.

In six weeks’ time, violent crashes due to vehicular police response calls and police chases, on average, kill at least 30 bystanders and one officer in the United States. One death of an innocent bystanders or police officer is one too many.

Innocent bystanders are people going about their business—some walking home from school or driving to church, or going to work, or returning home from a family outing. None of these law-abiding people thought it would happen to them.
