Greensburg, IN — The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute presented 66 Indiana law enforcement officers with the state’s first-ever Traffic Safety All-Star award recently.
To be named a Traffic Safety All-Star, the officer must have made at least 20 OWI arrests during the previous year and participated in one of the state’s targeted enforcement campaigns, like Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.
The Traffic Safety All-Star awards program was created by ICJI as a way to recognize law enforcement officers who are going above and beyond to keep road users and their communities safe by working to combat impaired driving. Combined, the 66 officers who received the inaugural award totaled more than 3,000 OWI arrests in 2019.
One officer recognized is from southeastern Indiana, Sargent Brandon Meyer with the Greensburg Police Department. Sargent Meyer had 24 OWI arrests in 2019.
