Alexa’s Team pays tribute to the dedicated RCMP and municipal police officers who make an extraordinary contribution to reducing the number of drivers affected by alcohol or drugs on B.C.’s roads and highways.

Storey was presented with a letter from the Middelaer family, a plaque and an RCMP Traffic Service challenge coin.
