FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lynnwood Officers Recognized for Traffic Safety by Target Zero
LYNNWOOD, WA (December 13, 2017) - Lynnwood Police Department personnel were recently
recognized by Target Zero Snohomish County for their efforts in the area of
traffic enforcement. According to Target
Zero, there were 1,336 people killed in Washington State between 2012 and 2014 as a result of vehicle crashes.
In Lynnwood, our officers responded to approximately 2,000
collisions in 2016. Our agency continues
to work towards reducing those numbers through education and enforcement
efforts. Lynnwood Officers received the
following awards from Target Zero for 2017:
Officer of the Year:
Officer Mark Brinkman
Supervisor of the Year:
Sergeant Chris Breault
Both Sergeant Breault and Officer Brinkman are Drug
Recognition Experts (DRE), who have special training in analyzing the
physiological indicators of impaired drivers for both alcohol and other
drugs. They are also both DRE trainers.
The Lynnwood Police Department Motors Unit was also
recognized by Target Zero for their Motorcycle Safety Campaign.
The Lynnwood Police Department is very proud of these
excellent officers and wanted to share this recognition with our
community. The Lynnwood Police
Department is also conducting a Distracted Driving Emphasis for the month of
December, which is being led by Sergeant Harris and our Traffic Section. We ask that you not handle your cell phone while driving and
pay close attention to your surroundings, particularly in our busy holiday
traffic.
