Although COVID-19 limited the number of attendees, the annual Government of Ridgefield Against Drunk Driving Flag Raising Ceremony was still held.  This weekend marked the 33rd year of the GRADD program.  The cooperative effort between the police department, students, faculty, town government and resident has a goal of ensuing a safe and sober graduation period for students.  The community partners work to bring awareness and prevention of underage drinking and of drug use.  In support of the graduating class, police officers wear ribbons on their uniforms, class colors are flown on the flag pole at town hall, and ribbons are tied to the antennae of the patrol units.
