Friday evening at the Washington State Patrol headquarters, police from area agencies received “Super Star” awards for their commitment to traffic safety and enforcement.

Cmdr. Bob Winsor of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office Reserve received a lifetime achievement award for his work in traffic safety. He joined the sheriff’s office in 1970, when there were just 15 deputies on the force. At the time, he was often the only unit on patrol in the whole county; that’s how he coined the phrase “one county, one car.” He’s logged more than 12,000 hours during his years of service. He still works with reserve and focuses on organizing community service projects.

All award recipients were given a plaque with their name on it, as a token for their work.
