Please Join MADD's Enforcement Effort to Honor Victims and SurvivorsPosted: August 15, 2019 On August 24, 2019, MADD will launch a nationwide “Saturation Saturday,” an opportunity to organize and join law enforcement departments across the country to publicize their “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” summer campaigns. Here in Colorado, we are asking for law enforcement's help in removing impaired drivers from our roadways in a coordinated effort on August 24. The goal is to involve as many agencies as possible, on one Saturday night, to encourage safe driving and high-visibility law enforcement through one of the most heavily traveled weekends of the year. During this day, we’re inviting every agency in the state to designate one car to patrol for impaired drivers in honor of victims and survivors of drunk and drugged driving. We know that many of you already have DUI patrols on these days and we are not asking for additional patrols. We are asking for one of your patrol cars to wear the "red ribbon" for support of MADD while doing their patrolling activities on Saturday, August 24. Here's how your agency can participate:
We’re grateful to you and your officers for considering participating in this event. Please stay safe and thank you for all you do for our communities across Colorado! |
Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation
The challenges faced by agency heads and departments to honorably memorialize officers who have died in the line of duty, and care for their families and department personnel are daunting. The sad reality is there will be more, and your agency could be next.
The Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation (CFHF) will bring together multi-agency professionals with a variety of specialized skills to respond,and assist any organization with a memorial service befitting a hero as needed.
