February 2023 Mission Moment
Trooper Martin Mack and Trooper Brandon Sisco
Pennsylvania State Police
Trooper Marty Mack and Trooper Branden Sisca were struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver near mile marker 18 on southbound I-95 in Philadelphia, shortly before 1:00 am on March 21, 2022.They had stopped a female driver for speeding and had interacted with her for less than one minute when they were notified of a pedestrian walking along the interstate. Due to their short interaction before being dispatched to the higher priority pedestrian call, the troopers had not observed any signs of impairment before giving her a warning. They then responded to the pedestrian call and located the man on the interstate. They were assisting him into the back of their patrol vehicle when an approaching car drove by and attempted to pass the police vehicle on the shoulder. The vehicle fatally struck both troopers and the pedestrian they were assisting.
The driver who struck them was charged with three counts of third-degree murder, three counts of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, and two counts of second-degree manslaughter of a law enforcement officer. She was the same driver that had been pulled over by the troopers several minutes earlier. Trooper Mack was a Pennsylvania National Guard veteran and had served with the Pennsylvania State Police for 7-1/2 years. He was assigned to Troop K and is survived by his wife and two children.
Trooper Sisca had served with the Pennsylvania State Police for 13 months and was assigned to Troop K. He is survived by his expectant wife.

MADD National President Tess Rowland
“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.” – William Shakespeare. The quote dates back to 1600, but it is quite relevant today.
Today, we live in a weary world. Thank you all for being the light. I promise you; your good deeds change the world every day.
As Law Enforcement Officers, you know the grim statistics that illustrate the true crisis we are experiencing surrounding drunken and drugged driving in this country. While the numbers don’t lie, they don’t do justice to the calls you have worked, the sights you have seen, the hands you have held and the loss you have felt.
With as many 32 people becoming new impaired driving victims each day and now over 11,000, a 14% increase, losing their life to this preventable crime this year, it might be hard to believe that just one officer, or even one traffic stop, truly can make a difference... I can attest to that.
It is with great honor to virtually introduce myself. My name is Tess Rowland, and I am serving as the new National President of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. I am originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but I now reside in Houston, Texas. Like many victims, I never envisioned becoming part of the MADD Family, but the true reason I am here today is because of several hard-working law enforcement officers.
In May 2020, I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans with big dreams of becoming a news reporter. I achieved those dreams in the most beautiful of places and became a weekend anchor and reporter for WMBB News 13 in Panama City Beach, Florida. In March 2021, I was offered the opportunity to become the morning reporter which meant I would get weekends off, but I’d have an early wake up time of 2:00 a.m. I quickly accepted the offer knowing I would be off at noon and could spend time on the beach (a 22-year-olds dream) and that I would be avoiding heavy traffic.
I was not even 5 minutes from my house when I encountered an alleged wrong-way, reckless drunk driver with drugs in the car. I was unconscious for much thereafter, but responders on scene told me my knee had been pulverized by the dashboard, and the engine of the car was just an inch away from my body.
Lt. King first put me in contact with a local towing company to whom I shared my story with. White’s Wreckers soon fell in love with my story and created a free tow home initiative in Panama City Beach. With a simple call, a drunk driver could have a ride home with their car, free of charge, 24/7.
Then, Lt. King connected me with our local Law Enforcement liaison to create more overtime enforcement opportunities. All this change, just a few months after my crash.
When I was well enough to return to work, Lt. King connected me with other members of Troop A, like Trooper Sue Barge and Lt. Daniel Wagner. Many TV viewers had shared with me their personal connection to DUI and how often it happens, so I suited up with my camera and hopped in a patrol car to see for myself. The results were shocking. Within minutes, we responded to a crash. One thing I found; it was many people in their 20s getting DUIs.
So that’s when Lt. King, Trooper Barge, Trooper Holland, and I started giving presentations at local schools in the area. Then, through connecting with Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford, we saw through the first ever area DUI Task Force comprised of 8 agencies.
I understand the many sacrifices and long hours that come with your profession, and the added frustration that the laws in place may not make your job easier. I am here to tell you, that despite those frustrations that you may encounter, please know that you are saving lives.
Law enforcement serves as our last line of defense and it’s because of you that many are able to get to where they need to go safely and return to their loved ones. Thank you for fighting the good fight by keeping drunk and drugged drivers off our roads and waterways. Thank you for being the light in many lives and the true reason many are able to make it home safely.

February 2023 Officer of the Month
Officer Mike Adams
Holly Springs Police Department, Georgia
MADD proudly recognizes Officer Mike Adams of the Holly Springs Police Department as our Officer of the Month for February 2023. Officer Adams joined the Holly Springs Police Department in 2020. He has a passion for traffic safety, impaired driving enforcement and education.Officer Adams has made DUI enforcement a priority in the City of Holly Springs. The day he received certification in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), he found his first DUI, a 0.212 Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), driving on a dark major roadway with no lights on. Since that night, every shift he works, his primary goal is finding DUI offenders. This resulted in 257 total DUI contacts between himself and other Holly Springs officers, and his 54 primary arrests for DUI alcohol.
Before being moved to the day shift, he helped other night shift officers to pursue and identify DUI offenders. He also makes himself available for officer’s questions related to DUIs, navigating Automatic License Suspension hearings, case building and documentation in report writing.
Officer Adams obtained Intox9000 as well as Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) certifications to further his knowledge in DUI enforcement. He also is in the process of obtaining crash reconstruction certification.
In addition to his enforcement efforts, Officer Adams spends time speaking with local teens regarding the dangers of what is seen as minor “drugs” as it relates to DUI enforcement and prosecution. He has a “no more” approach to DUI enforcement and makes sure those violators deserving prosecution and sanctions, receive what is needed.
MADD National is proud to recognize Officer Mike Adams as the February 2023 Officer of the Month. We thank him for his dedicated service to the citizens of Holly Springs and the State of Georgia. We wish him the best in safety and wellness in the remaining years of his career and service.
MADD extends our deepest condolences to the agencies and families who have lost officers and loved ones in the line of duty
