From Surveying Police Vehicle Damage towards Improving Driver Education and Training

The project centers around surveying the police vehicle damage reports from 2013, on which a picture is built of the damage suffered by police vehicles in Finland. The project also draws parallels between damage reports, on the one hand, and quality assurance and impact assessments in driver instruction, on the other. The project also contributes to the development of electronic damage reporting.

Timescale: October 2014 – April 2015

Partners: Ministry of the Interior, National Police Board, police units
