MADD STATE LIFE SAVER NOMINATIONS SOUGHT



MADD Michigan is taking nominations for the annual State Life Saver Award. According to their office, "Madd understands the essential role law enforcement has in the ongoing effort to remove alcohol impaired drivers from the roadways of Michigan. These awards are to honor the law enforcement officers who have demonstrated a dedication to combating drunk driving and have contributed to these life-saving efforts."


The six Life Saver Award recipients will be honored at a luncheon in Lansing on February 26, 2010. Each nominee will receive a certificate of recognition from MADD Michigan. Applications for this award are available through the U.P. OHSP office.  Please contact Jamie at 906-225-7036 to have one sent to your agency.  The completed nomination form must be received by the MADD state office no later than Friday, January 15, 2010.

Typically, Upper Peninsula law enforcement officers have not submitted nominations for the State Life Saver Award, yet it is clear that they should.  Their diligent efforts have reduced the number of deaths and serious injuries in the region that are attributed to impaired driving. If you have a peer or someone under your command who has made a significant number of arrests for impaired driving, please consider them for a nomination. The form is short and simple to complete.
