Alexa’s parents were also present at the emotional ceremony to hand out the awards to officers. “As a family, it is our privilege to recognize the members of Alexa’s Team whom have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of our communities,” said Alexa’s mother, Laurel. “It is good and right to acknowledge and thank those who individually and collectively make an enormous difference, each and every day. “In the wake of the tragic loss of our daughter ... this is one event that allows our family to find some needed good. These members are heroes and deserve our appreciation.” Events will be held in Vancouver, Kelowna and Prince George to recognize officers in each region. Since 2008, members of Alexa’s Team have processed more than 71,300 impaired driving penalties for alcohol and drug related driving offences, with the total number of members on Alexa’s Team having grown from 26 to 1,885.
