    National Law Enforcement Roadway Safety (NLERS) Program trainer, David Flory, and program manager, Brett Cowell, share roadway safety stories and what NLERS offers officers nationwide. Imagine being on duty as a law enforcement officer and hearing a distressed call for help over the radio. What would you do? Most officers would be on their way immediately—fellow officers are family. David Flory answered a call like that while serving the City of Bedford in Texas. With an urgency to assist, he started speeding toward the officers’ location. Before he knew it, he was involved in a crash. Surviving the collision, he was reminded of the numerous dangers officers face while on duty, especially when operating a patrol vehicle. This lesson stuck with him, affecting not only his future but those of officers around the country.
