STATE POLICE WIN AWARD

The Virginia State Police have been awarded first place in a 1994 international competition for promoting the use of seat belts and child restraints.

The Chief's Challenge Award was presented in ceremonies in Miami on Oct. 17. Trooper Carl Campbell, who patrols the interstate in the cities of Suffolk, Portsmouth and Chesapeake, was selected to represent the department.

In 1994, Campbell was responsible for 2,200 traffic citations, almost 25 percent of them for failure to use seat belts. He also wrote 25 tickets for child-restraint violations. ILLUSTRATION: Photo
