Officer Brian Bollow and Officer Kris Mecca received this very prestigious award at an evening dinner event in Springfield. “MADD Illinois honored and recognized law enforcement (Officers Bollow and Mecca), the media, volunteers and individuals who have made safe roads a number one priority and strongly supported the Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving”.
Officers Bollow and Mecca were recognized for “their strong, anti-drunk driving efforts, each making his … own substantial contribution to the elimination of the heinous crime of drunk driving in Illinois”. Officer Bollow is a 13 year veteran and Officer Mecca is a 3 year veteran of the DeKalb Police Department.
MADD’s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving® aims to protect families by supporting the heroes who keep our roads safe through high-visibility law enforcement; requiring convicted drunk drivers to blow before they go with the use of ignition interlock devices; and turning cars into the cure through the development of technology that automatically determines whether or not the driver is above the legal limit of .08 causing the vehicle to fail to operate if the driver is impaired.
