Vote for Best Driver Safety Slogan
Police commissioner wants grassroots effort involving slogans and public service announcements in Port Washington.
Port Washington Police asked the community to put out its best ideas for a driver safety slogan, and residents responded.
The initiative is part of a new campaign in which police, Port Washington schools and community groups are partnering to make our streets safer. The hope is that the campaign will put an end to texting while driving, speeding, illegal U-turns, disregard for stop signs and pedestrians in crosswalks, and more.
Port Washington Police Commissioner Dave Franklin is now looking for community members to vote for their favorite slogan, by e-mailing him at franklinpwpc@aol.com.
