IT HAS CONDUCTED SEMINARS AND TRAINING SESSIONS ON SUCH TOPICS AS ALCOHOL, DRUGS, AND DRIVING, AND IT HAS ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY TRAFFIC SAFETY BOARDS. THE COUNCIL HAS ALSO PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN THE LEGISLATIVE PASSAGE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY BILLS, AND HAS AWARDED HONORS TO POLICE DEPARTMENTS WHICH CONDUCTED EFFECTIVE ACCIDENT PREVENTION PROGRAMS.
