PORTSMOUTH — Portsmouth resident and Rhode Island State Police Sgt. Gregory Cunningham was recently recognized by Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin at the annual Justice Awards, which honors individual and organizational excellence and commitment to justice and the community.
Sgt. Cunningham received a special Justice Award for his commitment to help educate young drivers on the dangers and consequences of distracted driving through his longtime participation in the “It Can Wait” program.
For the past three years, Sgt. Cunningham has joined the attorney general at more than 50 school visits to share the message that no text message, snap, tweet or Instagram is worth losing their own life, or worse, taking the life of another person.
“The annual Justice Awards are an opportunity to recognize the many heroes in Rhode Island who commit their time, energy, and passion to making their communities stronger and safer each day,” said Attorney General Kilmartin. “There is no question Sgr. Cunningham has made an impactful difference and is worthy of this honor and our gratitude.”
Each Justice Award is presented in honor of one of the eight previous attorneys general: Arlene Violet, Richard Israel, Herbert DeSimone, Dennis Roberts, James O’Neil, Jeffrey Pine, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Patrick Lynch.
