Last year the Arvada Police Department Traffic Unit supported the Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) by forming a team to participate in the Walk Like MADD fund-raising event held at Sloan’s Lake Park.
Our team raised over $2,800 and was the second most productive law enforcement team and the fifth best fund-raising team in the entire state.
We thank you for your help and support in that endeavor and are announcing today that we will again be helping MADD in their quest to eliminate drunk driving by participating in the Walk Like MADD event at Sloan’s Lake Park on August 7th at 9:00 AM.
We invite you and your family to join us.
â– Every year in the United States more than 12,000 people die due to alcohol related traffic crashes and 500,000 more suffer injuries.
â– Last year in Arvada more than 400 people were arrested for drunk driving.
â– Last year in Arvada there were 118 traffic crashes involving drunk drivers. While this represents a 19% reduction from 2008, two of our five fatal accidents last year involved alcohol.
