MADD National Court Monitoring Report 2022

THANK YOU A SPECIAL

MADD would like to thank our amazing court monitoring volunteers. Throughout 2021, these volunteer court monitors spent hundreds of hours in court (physically and virtually), reviewing case data and educating the public. Their participation, commitment to their community and passion to make a difference are why they play a vital role in helping to achieve our mission. We would also like to acknowledge prosecutors, judges and likeminded advocates for their compassion and commitment to victims of impaired driving. Your dedication to pursue the fullest prosecution of each case will prevent future offenses and save lives. MADD must also provide a resounding thank you to law enforcement. Each time law enforcement removes an impaired driver from the road, countless lives are saved. Thank you for your dedication, bravery and hard work to keep our nation’s roadways safe through the enforcement and prevention of underage drinking and substance impaired driving. Lastly, we would like to express our gratitude to our legislative advocates and champions from across the nation. We appreciate your unwavering commitment to pass lifesaving legislation on the state and federal levels. Truly your work has helped to prevent countless tragedies.
