You have been allocated 100% of the funds that you requested for this enforcement period, and your purchase orders are in the process of being issued. You should receive those prior to the start of the campaign on September 11th. All work must be performed between these two dates to qualify for reimbursement. I have attached a claim form and an example of backup documentation that must accompany the claim in order for your agency to get paid. All claims and backup documentation must be submitted to Leslie Chase by December 5, 2009. No need to send individual time sheets, logs, or other payroll documents. We have limited space to file reports, so the fewer pieces of paper we get, the better. Please post your enforcement plans on the "Fall Festival Enforcement 2009" website at least 7 days prior to the start of your enforcement for each specific festival or event, and post your arrests within 3 days of concluding the enforcement. Enterthe name of the festival or event in the comments section of the enforcement plan entry screen. If your enforcement plan is to conduct a sobriety checkpoint, the enforcement plan for that checkpoint must be entered on the "Summer Checkpoints 2009" website, also. If you plan to release information to the press regarding enforcement during this campaign, please send the release to me and Heather Halpape ( heather .halpape @dot.state.co_us) at CDOT Public Relations prior to release to the media. We need to review these to ensure coordination of information and to ensure that we all distribute the same message. Your final report, which is a summary of your enforcement activity and results on your agency's letterhead, is due to me by December S, 2009. Please call me if you have questions. Thanks again for your dedication to making Colorado's roadways safer. Captain Bruce W. Sheetz Colorado State Patrol CDOT /Office of Transportation Safety Law Enforcement Coordinator 4201 E.

This third enforcement period will be followed by Thanksgiving Weekend enforcement in November. TO JOIN THE CAMPAIGN The agency agrees to 1. provide overtime to law enforcement officers for enforcement of Colorado's impaired driving laws at DUI checkpoints, saturation patrols, increased patrols, or dedicated DUI enforcement cars, 2. utilize only officers who are currently SFST certified to conduct roadside maneuvers; 3. report all enforcement plans and activity to the CDOT website by the specified deadlines; 4. contact CDOT's Public Relations Office prior to issuing a local press release to coordinate media efforts; 5. submit claims on CDOT forms (no handwritten claims will be accepted) with backup documentation (detailing officer names, dates and hours worked, hourly pay, and total pay) by 12/05/09; 6. submit a final report on agency letterhead summarizing activity, arrests and crashes compared to last year, overall results of the enforcement, and any significant events that occurred, by 12/05/09.
