The Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police on Monday awarded the Dunwoody Police Department the 2012 Dr. Curtis E. McClub/Motorola Award of Excellence for its use of an innovative Collision Avoidance Training Program.
The program educates teenage drivers about vehicle dynamics and human kinetics - the forces created by an automobile and the effects of those forces on the human body.
A random survey completed by parents of the teenage drivers who were trained in the two-day program found that it had significantly changed the teenager's driving performance. Less than 5 percent of the teens were involved in automobile crashes, and none were deemed at fault for the crashes.
