Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving

As a law enforcement officer, you know all too well the devastation drunk driving inflicts on innocent families. That’s why you work so hard to reduce alcohol-related traffic fatalities – and your efforts have made an impact. But drunk driving remains one of the deadliest crimes in our nation. That’s why MADD has launched the Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving – a bold program with the ambitious, but attainable, goal to eliminate drunk driving once and for all through the programs listed below:
  1. High-visibility law enforcement, including sobriety checkpoints
  2. Ignition interlocks for all convicted drunk drivers
  3. Advanced vehicle technologies that will prevent drunk driving
  4. Public support

Court Monitoring Program

We know you are doing your job to stop drunk driving, but are the courts doing their job? MADD’s Court Monitoring program aims to hold the courts accountable in their treatment of drunk driving cases by compiling information on how DUI/DWI cases are handled, identifying gaps in the prosecution and adjudication processes, communicating public interest and concern about DUI/DWI cases to those who can influence policy, and to use data collected to improve the legal system.

Social Host

Social host liability refers to laws that hold individuals responsible for underage drinking events on property they own, lease or otherwise control.
