The Hot Sheets may include the driver's name, last known address, DOB, description, current license status, and the number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. Hot Sheets should be updated and distributed to traffic and patrol officers at least monthly. • Implementation of the STEP grant activities will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high crash Iocations.Media Requirements • Issue a press release announcing the kick-off of the grant by November 15, but no earlier than October 1. If unable to meet the November 15 date, communicate reasons to your OTS Coordinator. The kick-off press releases and any related media advisories, alerts, and materials must be emailed for approval to the OTS Public Information Officer at pio(a)-ots.ca.gov, and copied to your OTS Coordinator, 14 days prior to the issuance date of the release. B. Phase 2 — Program Operations (Throughout Grant Year) • The department will work to create media opportunities throughout the grant period to call attention to the innovative program strategies and outcomes.Media Requirements • Send all grant -related activity press releases, media advisories, alerts and general public materials to the OTS Public Information Officer (PIO) at pioa_ots.ca.gov, with a copy to your OTS Coordinator.

Optimum lead-time would be 10 days prior to the release distribution date, but should be no less than 5 working days prior to the release distribution date. • Press releases reporting the immediate and time -valued results of grant activities such as enforcement operations are exempt from the recommended advance approval process, but still should be copied to the OTS PIO and Coordinator when the release is distributed to the press. • Activities such as warrant or probation sweeps and court stings that could be compromised by advanced publicity are exempt from pre -publicity, but are encouraged to offer embargoed media coverage and to report the results. • Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials: Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. • Email the OTS PIO at pio(a)ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 30 days in advance, a short description of any significant grant -related traffic safety event or program so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event. • Submit a draft or rough -cut of all printed or recorded material (brochures, posters, scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, etc.) to the OTS PIO at pion-ots.ca.goy and copy your OTS Coordinator for approval 14 days prior to the production or duplication. • Space permitting, include the OTS logo, on grant -funded print materials; consult your OTS Coordinator forspecifics and format -appropriate logos. 7/7/2020 2:04:39 PM 20 B-7 Page 5 of 18
