Last week, MADD Wisconsin had the honor of recognizing 20 law enforcement agents from across the state who go above and beyond every day to save lives and keep our roads safe from impaired driving. ๐Ÿ’™

These dedicated heroes play a vital role in making our communities safer, and we are grateful for their commitment and service.

The awards were presented during a special ceremony at the Governorโ€™s Conference on Highway Safety in Wisconsin Dells. We were honored to hear from special guests, Director Jessica Wagner of the WisDOT Bureau of Transportation Safety, Tina Bondurant Section Chief for WisDOT, and Mission Speakers Amy & Scott Froehlich.

Weโ€™re also grateful to WisDOT for the opportunity to lead a session on Court Monitoring at the Governors Conference. Led by Cece Miglio, Illinois Court Monitoring Program Manager; Karl Krull, Wisconsin Program Manager; and Krystina LaCaze, Wisconsin Court Monitor, the session provided insight into the benefits of court monitoring, including increasing visibility, highlighting system gaps, promoting accountability, supporting partners, and preventing impaired driving.

A special thank you to our generous sponsors for helping make this event possible: Wisconsin Department of Transportation, AAA The Auto Club Group, and Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C.. Your support helps us continue moving our mission forward.

Tonight, the McLean County Sheriffโ€™s Office is joining law enforcement agencies across the country and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) for ๐’๐š๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐’๐š๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐š๐ฒ - a coordinated effort to combat impaired driving ahead of Labor Day weekend.

Our goal is pretty simple: ๐ฌ๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž๐ฌ.

And the numbers show why this matters.

According to MADDโ€™s 2024 Illinois DUI data:

๐Ÿบ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ– ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ๐ž ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐š๐ฅ๐œ๐จ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ-๐ซ๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐œ๐ซ๐š๐ฌ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ, accounting for approximately 23% of Illinoisโ€™ 1,245 crash fatalities.

๐Ÿ•š The average DUI offender was ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ ๐ฒ๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฅ๐, ๐ฆ๐š๐ฅ๐ž, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š๐ซ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐›๐ž๐ญ๐ฐ๐ž๐ž๐ง ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ ๐ฉ.๐ฆ. ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ’ ๐š.๐ฆ. ๐จ๐ง ๐š ๐ฐ๐ž๐ž๐ค๐ž๐ง๐.

And the average BAC? .๐Ÿ๐Ÿ• - ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ง ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ข๐œ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฅ๐ž๐ ๐š๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ.

Those arenโ€™t numbers we want to see grow.

Thatโ€™s why deputies will be out tonight with increased enforcement and visibility as part of Saturation Saturday and NHTSAโ€™s ๐ƒ๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐’๐จ๐›๐ž๐ซ ๐จ๐ซ ๐†๐ž๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐ ๐Ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ campaign.

So if your Saturday night includes drinking, make the smart decision before the first drink: designate a sober driver, grab a rideshare, call a friend, or stay where you are.

Because finding a ride home is a whole lot easier, and cheaper, than finding yourself in the back of one of ours. ๐Ÿš“๐Ÿ˜‰
