IRON MOUNTAIN, MI-- Michigan State Police from the Iron Mountain Post, Forest Park School, and North Dickinson School have won a state honor.
They’ve received the 2014 Governor’s Traffic Safety Advisory Commission Award for Outstanding Traffic Safety Achievement.
The award focuses on school bus safety and stepped-up police patrols to address vehicles passing buses while their red lights are flashing. Officials say the program resulted in a significant decrease in the number of incidents.
Representatives from the post and the two schools attended a March 25 luncheon in Lansing honoring their dedication, leadership, and service to traffic safety.
