The 22nd Annual Golden Shield Honors recognizes law enforcement offices and agencies, DUI prosecutors and community advocates who make a difference. For the past 22 years, the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety has joined with MADD Georgia to celebrate our partners in their efforts to keep our highways and roads safe. These heroes work hand-in-hand with us to fulfill our mission to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking.
