WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Sheriffs' Association is pleased to announce that it has awarded the coveted Traffic Safety Unit Award to Twiggs County, Georgia, for 2011. NSA commends Twiggs County Sheriff's Office for its yearlong Traffic Safety efforts to improve the quality of life in Twiggs County by curbing speeding, impaired driving, dangerous behaviors such as texting and driving, and increasing occupant protection use.

Sheriff Mitchum will accept the award on behalf of Twiggs County at the National Law Enforcement Challenge Awards breakfast in San Diego, California, in October.
