Due to the uncertainty of COVID19 we have changed the Law Enforcement Hero Awards to a virtual event

In the interest of recognizing and honoring 2021 Law Enforcement Officers for their continuous efforts in DUI enforcement, we are presenting the 2021 MADD Law Enforcement Recognition Events virtually.  The impact of impaired driving goes far beyond the crash itself, sending shock waves through families.  Law enforcement officials understand fully the hurt and pain from these horrific crashes, and in their efforts to prevent another life from being taken at the hands of an impaired driver, MADD supports them for protecting families.  It is with this sentiment that MADD sees these officials as heroes. 

The event will be LIVE STREAMED

Friday, June 25 at 10:00am 

 REGISTRATION FOR A WATCH PARTY WILL OPEN SOON.
