Data Nexus, Inc. announces the latest addition to its team. Larry Holestine, formerly a Major with the Colorado State Patrol, has joined Data Nexus to serve as Director of Public Safety Services.

Mr. Holestine has over 29 years of experience in professional law enforcement. As District Commander of the CSP, he created the Colorado State Patrol Accident Reconstruction Team, which is now recognized as one of the best in the nation. In addition, he played an instrumental role in moving the CSP towards a "paperless" record-keeping environment. Most recently, he has used his invaluable traffic safety and traffic records knowledge to promote data collection, traffic safety information management systems, seat belt usage, reduction of alcohol-related crashes, and other prevalent highway traffic safety issues.

Mr. Holestine has served on numerous committees in the fields of traffic records and transportation safety. Recently, he served as 2003 Chair of the Association of Transportation Safety Information Professionals and has been instrumental in moving ATSIP toward a professional association. As a member of the National Highway of Transportation and Safety Administration's (NHTSA) traffic records assessment team, Mr. Holestine traveled across the US helping states to improve traffic record collection, reporting, and analysis.

As Director of Public Safety Services for Data Nexus, Inc., he will consult with public agencies on information systems and technology requirements, manage law enforcement activities and traffic records assessment activities, develop training course curriculum, and provide subject matter expertise to the Polaris software development team.

Dr. Scopatz, Director of Research and Government Services for Data Nexus, Inc., has worked with Mr. Holestine on various boards and committees and believes that…

"Larry is a valuable addition to the Data Nexus team. His subject matter expertise and law enforcement background will enable Data Nexus to better meet the needs of our customers while maintaining a high standard for transportation safety and traffic records management."

Barbara Hilger DeLucia, President and CEO of Data Nexus, Inc., echoes this response saying,

"I have had the pleasure to work with Larry on numerous state and national projects over the years. The addition of Larry's experience and knowledge is one more reason why Data Nexus continues to be the provider of choice for highway safety consulting and transportation information systems."
