MADD program specialist honors Hawthorne officer for impaired-driving outreach
Summary
Pedro Medina of Mothers Against Drunk Driving outlined MADD's education and victim-support programs, gave the group's helpline, and presented a Certificate of Excellence to a Hawthorne police officer for work deterring impaired driving.
Pedro Medina, a program specialist with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), addressed the council about the group's mission and local outreach programs and recognized a borough police officer for work on impaired-driving prevention.
"Once again, my name is Pedro Medina, and I'm a program specialist for Mothers Against Drunk Driving," Medina said, describing MADD's school-based education for fourth through 12th graders, a 24/7 helpline (+1 (877) 623-3435), and victim-support services. He presented a Certificate of Excellence "in recognition of his dedication preventing impaired driving and making our roads safer." The mayor and council accepted program materials that Medina left for local schools.
The presentation did not include any formal council action; it was a public-education and recognition item placed on the administrative agenda. Medina invited council members and the borough school board to request MADD classroom visits and shared free program literature.
