The Chesapeake Police Department has won the 1994 John T. Hanna Award for outstanding achievement in traffic safety activism. This is the third time that the department has won the award.
The department was chosen because of its concentrated and intensive traffic enforcement program, which included stepped-up enforcement action at high-risk accident locations and a sobriety checkpoint program. The Chesapeake Police Department has credited a private, public partnership with helping to get the message out about traffic safety.
John T. Hanna Award is presented by the Concerned Citizens Advocating Traffic Safety organization.
The Southeastern Public Service Authority's Regional Recycling System has been selected for inclusion in the ``Environmental Success Index,'' a data base that communities across the country can use to learn about successful environmental preservation programs. SPSA's recycling system includes curbside, drop-off, yard waste, used oil, tire and battery recycling programs, which serve more than a million residents in Southeastern Virginia.
SPSA was selected for this honor by Renew America.
