Police Departments Get AAA Awards
Two area Police Departments received Platinum Awards from AAA for their community traffic safety efforts, according to officials at AAA East Central. Seven local departments -- including Bradford City and Pitt-Bradford -- earned Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards.
The Platinum awards were given to “Commendable Leaders” for their safety efforts and enforcement activities geared towards making communities safer. The recipients of the prestigious awards were the Jamestown Police Department and Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Department.
The departments were among hundreds nationwide that participated in the Community Traffic Safety Program.
A Gold Award, the second highest recognition, was given to the New York State Police, Zone 3, Jamestown Station.
Warren County Police Department earned a Silver Award. Bronze Awards were given to Warren County Sheriff’s Department, Youngsville, St. Marys, Bradford and the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Police Departments.
“We are very proud of the departments for their achievement and participation in the Community Traffic Safety Program,” said Terri Rae Anthony, AAA Safety Advisor. “They went above and beyond the call of duty by organizing projects which would make their community a safer place for motorists as well as local residents.”
To be eligible for the annual awards, a community must conduct traffic safety promotions and educate the public on safety topics.
“The purpose of the award program is to recognize these great efforts that have advanced the cause of traffic safety so they can be shared and emulated by others,” Anthony said.
AAA conducts a variety of free highway safety programs in the Warren, PA/Chautauqua, NY area for on all age groups. The Club also partners with law enforcement and safety agencies on initiatives to improve the safety of the community and local highways.
