Abstract:
This year proved to be fruitful for the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office (OHSO) and its partners. OHSO began the fiscal year by sponsoring Oklahoma’s Centennial Celebration at the AT&T Bricktown Ballpark, which included a concert by bands from Oklahoma, such as the Flaming Lips. During the event, OHSO debuted its newest PSAs targeting drunk drivers. The four spots featured First Lady Kim Henry, Bart Connor and Nadia Comeneci, Capt. Paul Timmons, and the coaches from rival hockey teams, the OKC Blazers and the Tulsa Oilers. The spot featuring Capt. Timmons received an Addy award for this region.

OHSO and its partnering agencies kicked off the year by participating in the national “Drunk Driving. Over the Limit. Under Arrest.” (DDOLUA) mobilization during the holiday season. OHSO hosted its Annual Traffic Safety Forum on January 28, 2008. Sessions included a roundtable discussion in which local agencies shared their experience and expertise with the audience and included a Q & A session. Other topics included child passenger safety, the Alive at 25 curriculum and commercial motor vehicles. Award recipients included Cecilia Alsobrook for the J.C. Burris Memorial Award and Joe McDonald for the Duane Clark Memorial Award. A number of agencies from across the state received awards for having exemplary projects in their respective communities. Also in January, OHSO staff members participated in state leadership meetings with the U.S. Surgeon General regarding underage drinking prevention in Oklahoma.

The Tulsa Safe Communities group held the annual Oklahoma Buckledown Awards in February. A number of officers received awards and special recognition for traffic enforcement efforts displayed during the previous year.
