MADD SATURATION SATURDAY
If you drove past the Lake of the Ozarks Board of REALTORS building last night and wondered why there were a LOT of patrol cars from agencies all across the Lake, nothing bad happened.
That was what prevention looked like.
Last night, we were honored to host MADD Saturation Saturday, bringing officers from across the Lake area together before they returned to their respective communities with one shared mission: find impaired drivers before they had the opportunity to hurt themselves or someone else.
Before everyone hit the road, we shared a great meal generously donated by CG's Mini Mart and Godfather’s Pizza, The Tavern Smokehouse, and Woods Supermarket. Feeding a room full of cops is no small undertaking, and we greatly appreciate these businesses stepping up to support the men and women working last night!
A very special thank you to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, MADD Heartland for asking the Sunrise Beach Police Department to host this meaningful event, to every agency that participated, and the Lake of the Ozarks Board of REALTORS(R) for providing the space.
Here at home an additional three Sunrise Beach patrol vehicles worked throughout the night, providing additional coverage during one of the busiest weekends of the summer.
Every 44 minutes, someone in America is killed in an alcohol-impaired-driving crash.
We challenged every officer in that room to make those next 44 minutes count.
Find the driver before the crash, prevent the phone call, be the reason someone makes it home, and maybe, just maybe, be the one who saves a family from spending the rest of their lives asking, “What if?”
Thank you to everyone who worked last night to make our roads safer. ❤️🚔
