PTC PD teen trivia

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:56:29 -0400

Do you know who Billy Ray Cyrus is? Well your local Police Department does, and they also knew who Lil’ Wayne, Lady GaGa and Avril Lavigne was! But this year the Police fell a few points short in the 2009 Police vs. Teen Trivia Night. Police Officers had to answer questions about Pop Culture (and some other random questions), and Teens had to answer questions about Law Enforcement, State and Local Law. The final question was a pop culture question to keep it fair for both teams, but the Teen Team went “all in”. The teams had to put 5 specific Ashton Kuetcher projects in chronological order. Both teams got them all correct, so the Teens won the big trophy. The turning point of the night was the Teen Team knowing the legal limit of BAC for a DUI for anyone under 21. Their answer was correct at .02 or higher.
