The Washington Traffic Safety Commission honored Officer Mark Brinkman of the Lynnwood Police Department as its 2016 Law Enforcement Liaison of the Year.
Liaisons support traffic safety task forces and their coordinators, called Target Zero managers, in regions across the state. They serve as the “go-to” person for law enforcement agencies during special enforcement campaigns.
Brinkman is known for donating his own time beyond his regular job description. That included doing the work of a Target Zero manager while Snohomish County waited for a replacement.
“Washington State is very fortunate to have an officer with the dedication and determination that Mark exhibits constantly. He has been a pleasure to work with and is definitely deserving of this recognition,” said Bob Thompson, the statewide law enforcement liaison.
