Special Recognition

The direct result of the dedicated work of many in the law enforcement community has been improved DUI enforcement throughout California.

To those officers who have dedicated many years to the lifesaving work of DUI enforcement, persevering, consistently removing impaired drivers from our streets year after year year we dedicate the following:

Because of a Man

Death is out tonight
Driving.
Pain and suffering are out tonight
Driving.
Without warning they come tonight
Destroying.
Sent by selfishness and alcohol tonight
Without thinking.
They may claim another innocent tonight
Without caring.
There is a man out tonight
Patrolling.
He knows his duty tonight
Protecting, serving.
His resolve is strong tonight
Unwavering.
He will stop the pain tonight
Interceding.
We are safe tonight
Because of a man.

They have stood between us and the suffering, thousands of times. They will be, or have been, transferred to other duties. They will retire. They will move on. But what they have done will not be forgotten, because they have chosen to care enough to overcome the obstacles. They will tell you they have only done their jobs, but they have done it with extraordinary caring and diligence. 

On behalf of those who have been saved, who don't know that they were saved, who don't know they exist, MADD thanks them.
