The Below 100 program is an effort to instill a culture of safety in law enforcement agencies that will progressively reduce national LODD's to Below 100 annually.
According to the Officer Down Memorial Page (www.odmp.org) who tracks and publishes details about law enforcement officer LODD's, the last time there were less than 100 officers killed in the line of duty was 1943. In 1943 there were 93 officers killed in the line of duty. A review of the data by decade reveals that LODD's steadily increased, reaching a historic high in 1973 with 279 deaths. -

RADAR/LIDR Instructor Class (April 30, 2026)
The goal of all police work is to protect the lives, property, safety, and well-being of the public. Traffic law enforcement is no exception. Research shows that excessive speed is a major contributing factor to motor vehicle crashes. Further, excessive speed increases the severity of the crashes that do occur. RADAR is an important and effective means of accurately establishing vehicle speed. In recent decades, RADAR technology has been advanced significantly. Its cost-effectiveness has continued to improve as well. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) believes that police traffic RADAR is an effective enforcement tool. Police traffic RADAR provides a means of increasing enforcement effectiveness and permits police administrators to make better use of scarce personnel and costly fuel. The overall goal of this course is to improve the effectiveness of speed enforcement through the proper and efficient use of police traffic RADAR speed measurement instruments. Every officer who successfully completed this course will become a better instructor and enforcer of the traffic laws governing vehicle speed.
This course is for current TCOLE instructors, FTO’s, Supervisors, and subject matter experts
This course is reported under Texas Commission of Law Enforcement (TCOLE) #2065 RADAR.
