Law Enforcement Challenge

Record 60 Entries Received for the 2009 Law Enforcement Challenge

Despite a year plagued with personnel and budget cuts across the state, Virginia law enforcement agencies not only stepped up to the challenge, but surpassed it! A record 60 law enforcement agencies — including municipal police departments, county sheriff's offices, university police, military police, and the Va. Assn. of Chiefs of Police — put together entries showcasing their traffic safety education and enforcement efforts for the 2009 calendar year. The previous record was 52 entries for the 2007 Challenge. Fifty-one agencies entered the 2008 Challenge last year.

Results for both the Virginia and National Challenge will be available after the National Challenge judging process is completed in June. The Virginia Law Enforcement Challenge Awards will be presented at the VACP Annual Conference in Reston, VA on Monday, August 9. The National Law Enforcement Challenge Awards will be presented at the IACP Annual Conference in Orlando, FL on Tuesday, October 26.

Thank you for all the hard work you put in to participate in the Law Enforcement Challenge program and good luck to you all!
