What role can law enforcement play in creating safer streets?

Join Sergeant Derrick McNeil of the Carolina Beach Police Department at the 2026 NC BikeWalk Transportation Summit as he shares how data, enforcement, roadway observations, and community partnerships can help address safety concerns.

When DOT resources or project approval are not available, law enforcement often remains the first line of defense in addressing roadway safety concerns. This session focuses on real-world approaches to improving traffic safety through officer-driven input on road design, lighting placement, and targeted enforcement. Emphasis is placed on identifying high-risk areas, working with local partners, and implementing cost-effective solutions that enhance visibility, compliance, and overall safety.

Sergeant Derrick McNeil has served with the Carolina Beach Police Department for over twelve years, where he supervises patrol operations and supports departmental training and field performance. He has extensive experience in traffic enforcement, criminal investigations, and field training.

Learn practical strategies that communities can use to improve safety for all road users. Register for the summit today! https://bikewalknc.wildapricot.org/event-6464500
