Saturation Saturday

August 29, 2020

On August 29, 2020, MADD will launch the second nationwide “Saturation Saturday,” an opportunity to support law enforcement departments and publicize NHTSA’s “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” summer activation.

In 2019, 150 MADD staff and volunteers from across the nation teamed up with 262 law enforcement agencies at roll call events, checkpoints and press conferences to launch the first nationwide Saturation Saturday, held the weekend before Labor Day weekend. The goal is to highlight and show MADD’s support for increased traffic enforcement during one of the most heavily traveled and dangerous times of the year. One of the cornerstones of MADD’s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving® is increased, high-visibility law enforcement to both catch drunk drivers and — equally important — to deter others by sending a strong message that if you drive drunk, you will get caught. This stepped up enforcement can be accomplished with sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols. Now, more than ever, our heroes in law enforcement need MADD’s support and encouragement to continue the fight against drunk and drugged driving. Drunk and drugged driving has not stopped during the pandemic, and we need to intensify the battle to end this violent crime.

Stay tuned to the MADD NM Facebook page for activation around the Saturation Saturday Campaign!
