Franklin, TN – Last week in Murfreesboro the Franklin Police Department’s Traffic Unit received multiple awards for its traffic enforcement and safety programs. The Unit was awarded 1st Place in Tennessee and 3rd in U.S. for agencies with 101-200 officers for overall traffic safety programs and enforcement in the areas of occupant protection, speed, and impaired driving. Also at the state level, the unit was awarded 1st place for having the best impaired driving education and enforcement program, and received the Director’s Cup—awarded to the Tennessee law enforcement agency with the best represented traffic safety, education and enforcement program.

The Law Enforcement Challenge program, coordinated by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, recognizes the best overall traffic safety programs in the Country. The FPD Traffic Unit will receive their 3rd place award next month in Philadelphia during the IACP’s annual conference. Franklin Police Sergeant David Prather, who supervises the Department’s traffic unit said, “Focusing on enforcement and education efforts in areas like child and occupant protection, impaired driving, and speeding doesn’t just win us awards, it saves lives.”
