Database to assist traffic police forces in the EU Member States: PEPPER Deliverable 13-14-15.

This report contains information on the good practice database that can be found at the TISPOL website (www.tispol.org).. The database provides information on several aspects of road safety more specifically focussed on police and police enforcement. Information is collected from 6 EU Member States with a relatively good policy on road safety and where police forces are known for rather effective and efficient methods to enforce traffic laws in general and more specific the legislation on speeding, seat belt wearing and alcohol. Police specialists and representatives of research institutes in the selected Member States have answered a specific questionnaire and after analysing the answers the representatives of the selected countries are interviewed based don the received answers. A demonstration of good practice related to alcohol speeding and seat belt enforcement is performed and used as input for the database. ETSC is asked to comment a document with relevant issues from an EU perspective to be embedded in the database. After these activities all retrieved information is placed in a database (CLEOPATRA) at the TISPOL website. Over 95% of the content of the database is available at the public part of the TISPOL website. A limited number of sections is only available for TISPOL members. Information in these sections is considered as available for police only.
