On Wednesday May 13th, 2009, Ptlm. David Schepis, a four-year veteran of the Norton Police Department, was honored as the 2009 MADD Officer of the Year for the Norton Police Department. Mother's Against Drunk Driving Massachusetts will honor Schepis and many others, during the non-profit's 5th annual Drive for Life law enforcement recognition breakfast Wednesday at Devens Common Center.
This year, the 110 officers and troopers combined to make over 2,150 drunk driving arrests in 2008. That averages out to almost six drunk driving arrests per day in 2008.
"Keeping our roads safe is dangerous and thankless work," said Mary McNamara, MADD state executive director. "We consider the men and women of law enforcement everyday heroes and Drive for Life is MADD's way of saying thank you for thei r commitment to enforcing our impaired driving laws." |
