Blaine Police Department Receives Grant from AAA for Arrive Alive The Blaine Police Department would like to extend a sincere thank you to AAA for a grant to help with the department’s Arrive Alive event. The Arrive Alive program challenges high school students to think about the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, distracted driving, texting and driving, and the responsibilities of making mature decisions. The program shows that just one bad decision to drive distracted can not only have tragic results but affect the entire community. Thank you, AAA, for helping us make Blaine a safer community! |
