AAA Southern New England Honors BPD

On November 18, AAA Southern New England awarded the Burlington Police Department its National Gold Award. The inscription on the award reads:

In recognition of your outstanding achievements in traffic safety and your continuing efforts to educate and protect the citizens of your community. AAA salutes your commitment to traffic safety.

The award focuses largely on traffic safety programs rather than enforcement. Led by Sergeant Tom Browne, Officer Bernie Schipelliti and Officer Kevin Cooney comprise the Traffic Division, which is largely responsible for the innovative and effective programs that earned us this award.

Burlington was the only recipient of the National Gold Award in this region. It is the third straight year that we have been so honored.
