WRAP gives Prince Georges County Police its Law Enforcement Award
The Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP) last week presented the Prince Georges County Police Department with its 2012 Law Enforcement Award for its stellar efforts to keep county roads safe by targeting drunken and drugged driving and underage drinking.
WRAP Chairman John ODonnell of WANADA presented the award at WRAPs annual meeting last week. This years recipient of WRAPs 2012 Law Enforcement Award was an easy choice, if just for the sea change which has occurred in this law enforcement agencys approach and energies targeted toward the prevention of alcohol-related traffic incidents, ODonnell said.
One of the police departments crime-fighting efforts is the Take 30 for Traffic program, in which officers take at least 30 minutes of their patrol time to conduct high-visibility traffic enforcement in high-crime areas.
The WRAP organization, advocating sober driving in this region for almost 30 years, is comprised of high level representatives from major Washington area localities, police agencies, and major business organizations such as WANADA. WRAPs leadership, which ODonnell oversees, consists of an 18 member board of directors.
