VALDOSTA, Ga. (WALB) - The Valdosta Police Department and Valdosta Fire Department hosted a friendly blood drive competition on Wednesday with Life South Community Blood Center in Valdosta. VPD Chief Leslie Manahan and VFD Chief Brian Boutwell say the Battle of the Badges was their best turnout yet. After participants donated their blood, they voted for Team Fire or Team Police. 'I'm a part of the trauma department at South Georgia Medical Center, and the fire department has done a lot in supporting us as we've tried to achieve our designation.
