Congratulations to 2024 Illinois Law Enforcement Recognition Winners
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) believes in the importance of acknowledging the hard work that Law Enforcement Officers, Prosecutors, and Judges do across the country in preventing crashes by patrolling and taking impaired drivers off our roads. Every year, MADD Illinois holds a Law Enforcement Recognition banquet to recognize the men and women who have led the fight against drunk/drugged driving and underage drinking within their communities during the prior year. This year, our event will be held on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at the Crowne Plaza-Springfield. Congratulations to all of the Illinois MADD Hero Award Winners, listed below!
