WESTWOOD – AAA Northeast is recognizing Trooper Peter Pollard of the Massachusetts State Police as a statewide “Traffic Safety Hero” for his outstanding efforts in 2022 through the annual AAA Northeast Community Traffic Safety Award program. The award honors those who work to maintain safety on our state’s roadways and educate citizens on traffic safety.
Trooper Pollard presented AAA Northeast’s community outreach program, Shifting Gears: the Blunt Truth about Marijuana and Driving, to thousands of Massachusetts high school students during the past three years. In explaining the Commonwealth’s laws, the role of a Drug Recognition Expert, and his personal experiences in responding to crashes, Trooper Pollard has been an impactful speaker who communicates well with students.
