THP Earns Top Honors In Traffic Safety PSA's

The Tennessee Highway Patrol took home a pair of first place awards for traffic safety public service announcements (PSA’s) at the 2011 Uniformed Safety Education Officers Workshop (U.S.E.O.W.) held in Louisville, Ky., on June 5 through 9. The THP won in both the television and radio public service announcement categories.
 
The U.S.E.O.W., whose mission is to protect people, life and property through educating the public on various safety issues, welcomed law enforcement agencies from Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming. This year’s event was hosted by the Kentucky State Police.  

Lieutenants Christina Faulkner of the Lawrenceburg District and Cary Hopkins of the Memphis District represented the THP’s Safety Education Division, where they submitted the “Nailed” television and the “We’ll be Everywhere” radio PSA in the competition.

Both spots were funded and produced by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office (GHSO) in 2009. “Nailed” has won several awards including the ADDYs, Tellys, a Mobius Award, and a regional Emmy.
