From azcentral:

Alberto Gutier, director of the AZ Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, said in a letter that he plans to present the award to Ryff at Thursday’s Tempe City Council meeting. “After his appointment as Chief over four years ago, Tom Ryff assembled an executive team and command staff to implement a reorganization strategy that has transformed the Tempe (Police Department) into a technologically advanced law enforcement agency.”

In a letter that was sent to Mayor Hugh Hallman asking for the time in the upcoming council meeting by Gutier outlined just a few of the programs related to traffic enforcement and safety in which Chief Ryff was intrumental and for which he is going to receive the award:

  • Established and implemented the Major Collision Investigations Team
  • Institutionalized the concept of specialization in the Traffic Bureau
  • Promoted the use of technology for the investigation of Vehicular Crimes
  • Implemented and taught Accident Reconstruction curriculum at the national level
  • Implemented and created curriculum for officer training in Impairment recognition
  • Emphasized training in effective criminal prosecution for impared driving violations
  • Emphasized officer use of criminal statutes to achieve prosecution in DUI cases
  • Worked with GOHS to establish the grant program by which law enforcement agencies can share resources for statewide DUI task forces

Congratulations to Chief Ryff for his contributions and recognitions in keeping our streets safer. GOHS – Chief Tom Ryff Award – 2011
