The crackdown will be accompanied by communication, including police-cruiser decals, banners and car magnets available for people, according to the announcement.
A police role is also described in the announcement.
“New Castle Chief of Police Charles Ferry will also be establishing a protocol, education and police checklist to help officers identify and document texting/cell phone use as part of their routine accident investigation.”
Additionally, the announcement also includes a role for Debbie and Ben Lieberman, local residents who lost their son Evan in an accident that was the fault of a distracted driver. It mentions that they created an organization called Distracted Operators Risk Casualties (DORCS), which works on public education of the issue.
