New Jersey Law Enforcement Recognition

Make Your 2022 Calendar Year Submissions Today!

Throughout New Jersey, Law Enforcement Agencies like yours keep us safe in many ways, including on the roadways. You work long hours with low pay, deal with difficult situations, and put themselves in danger on a daily basis—and some pay the ultimate price. Forty-four percent of the officers killed in the line of duty were killed in traffic crashes. That’s why Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) supports you, our heroes who keep our roads safe.

Beginning today, we open up nominations for the “MADD New Jersey Annual Law Enforcement Recognition Awards”. You will have the opportunity to nominate a dedicated officer or Drug Recognition Expert that has had success in reducing drunk or impaired driving in your community from January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 using the corresponding Nomination Form below. The categories are as follows:
