Law Enforcement Challenge

2006 Virginia Challenge Winners Announced!
The Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police (VACP) is pleased to present the 2006 Virginia Law Enforcement Challenge Award Winners. The Association is proud to be an integral part of Virginia’s traffic safety initiatives, particularly through its partnership role in the Virginia Smart, Safe and Sober Program. A major part of our efforts in Virginia has been the Law Enforcement Challenge, now in its 18th year in the state. We believe that this program promotes professionalism in traffic safety enforcement and encourages agencies to share best practices and programs with each other.

As the coordinating Challenge agency, we have worked very hard to ensure that law enforcement agencies throughout the Commonwealth have all of the tools available to them to make our roadways safer and we congratulate all of the Virginia winners. We are proud of your accomplishments and efforts to save lives, as should everyone in your communities and the state.

Awards will be presented at the Law Enforcement Challenge Luncheon on Monday, August 27, 2007 at the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference in Williamsburg, VA.

Congratulations to all of the winners!
