Students from across the Commonwealth are invited to submit creative works for use in the Adopt-a-Highway calendar for 2012.

LEXINGTON (FOX19) - The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety Tuesday honored 141 law enforcement officers, 29 of them from Northern Kentucky, from 122 agencies across the Commonwealth for their efforts to increase the use of seat belts and child restraints. 

The 2011 Governor’s Occupant Protection Awards ceremony was held at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Lexington. Awards were presented to officers with the most occupant protection citations in each agency and division. There are six divisions, based on number of officers within the agency, plus a division for Kentucky State Police.

A list of Northern Kentucky officers can seen below.

“Despite a wealth of data showing that seat belts and child restraints save lives, each year hundreds of unrestrained motorists lose their lives on Kentucky roadways,” said State Highway Engineer Steve Waddle, who presented the awards.
