These 10 photos attached are from the Sandhills MADD December Law Enforcement Awards dinner held at the Hope Mills Recreation Center, Dec. 3, 2008. Jeff Sport,made this dinner possible by procuring the plaques, all the food (graciously donated by Grandson's Restaurant) and reserving the center for the event. All of these officers work so diligently to keep our roads safe in the region. The arrests were made from July 2007 - July 2008.

Thank you for the updated information, Lisa Vogel and the other MADD volunteers.
