The Alliance Police Department is teaming up with Trusted Driver to deliver rewards and positive feedback to good drivers via Trusted Driver’s innovative web-based platform. The program is free for drivers living in the 69301 zip code and kicks off during Heritage Days in July.
“Our desire is to reduce accidents across the city. We don’t want to be looked upon as enforcers but more mentors. We believe positive reinforcement provides greater results in a community instead of negative reinforcement,” said Alliance Police Chief Philip Lukens.
Trusted Driver, which was designed and developed by a team of retired law enforcement officers, offers contactless interactions between officers and drivers. In Alliance, officers will use the new technology to provide positive feedback and distribute rewards to drivers without having to conduct a traditional traffic stop.

“As we developed Trusted Driver, we felt it was important to include an option for officers to provide positive feedback to drivers,” said Val Garcia, president and CEO of Trusted Driver. “Not only does this help drivers self-advocate for better insurance rates, it reaffirms the Alliance Police Department’s commitment to support the community.”
“I am excited to bring this one of a kind program to Alliance and am even more excited to see drivers get rewards instead of tickets. It will make a difference and it will reduce accidents,” added Chief Lukens.
Chief Lukens encourages residents to take advantage of the free Trusted Driver registration and be instantly eligible for free prizes and rewards.
“We are grateful to local businesses and the chamber for their assistance in rewards and helping get this program going. Ultimately in partnership with our community we will reduce accidents. This always contributes to a safer Alliance,” said Chief Lukens.
Registration for Alliance residents begins July 12 during Heritage Days. Interested residents will need a valid driver’s license and a vehicle VIN to create a Trusted Driver account.
