The Law Enforcement Challenge program, coordinated by the International Association of Chiefs of Police recognizes the best overall traffic safety programs in the Country. Franklin Police Sergeant David Prather, who supervises the Department’s traffic unit said, “Focusing on enforcement and education efforts in things like child and occupant protection, impaired driving, and speeding doesn’t just win us awards, it saves lives.”
