Bob Hamilton, Kansas Department of Transportation Law Enforcement  liaison
is presenting the Platinum AAA Community Traffic Safety Award to Brown
County Undersheriff Brian Guilliams.   This is the fifth consecutive year
the Brown County has received the highest award for their efforts in public
and traffic safety through KDOT and AAA insurance.    In order to obtain
the platinum status , which is the highest award given,  agencies must meet
many requirements all geared towards educating and working with  the public
on traffic safety.  Brown County Sheriff's office has implemented the
Seatbelts Are For Everyone (SAFE) program as well as one of the few
agencies to teach First Aid, CPR and AED training to high school students.
Many other programs and initiatives have been provided to help inform and
educate county residents which enabled the Sheriff's office to earn this
most prestigious award. According to Hamilton,  "The people of Brown County
are very fortunate to have such dedicated officers at their Sheriff's
office"

Congratulations to the Doniphan County Spelling Bee Winner Kamryn McCauley, Grade 8 @ Doniphan West. Troy’s Zoey Doss, a Fifth Grader at Troy Elementary, told 2nd place.
