Area Police Departments Honored by AAA

Three area police departments received Bronze Awards from AAA for their community traffic safety efforts in a recent award ceremony.

Bronze awards were given to , Bradford City, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and the City of Saint Marys 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 adviser. "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."

The awards were given by AAA East Central for a department's safety efforts and enforcement activities geared toward making communities safer. The departments were among hundreds nationwide that participated in the Community Traffic Safety Program.

To be eligible for the annual awards, departments must conduct traffic safety promotions and educate the public on safety topics. In 2010, the departments completed work in safety education, as well as aggressive driving and seat belt grant programs. Those projects were accomplished in cooperation with PennDOT.

"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.
