The Kennebecasis Regional Police Force is receiving an award for improving road safety through education.
The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police awarded the KRPF with the National Police Award for Traffic Safety.
It came after a year-long campaign for the successful development, promotion, and implementation of the Strategic Traffic Priority Initiative.
The initiative surpassed targets with a 100 per cent increase in the number of impaired driving charges and a 241 per cent increase in distracted driving charges.
There was also a reduction of 28 per cent in the number of injury collisions, and a reduction of eight per cent in property damage collisions.
