Arvada Police Walks to Raise Funds for MADD

The Arvada Police Department Traffic Unit supported Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) by forming a fund-raising team to participate in the Walk Like MADD family walk held at Sloan's Lake Park on August 1st.

The entire City of Arvada was invited to participate in this very worthwhile venture to help MADD in their mission of eliminating drunk driving, supporting the victims and their families, and preventing underage drinking.

• Every year in the U.S. more than 12,000 people die due to an alcohol related traffic crash.
• Nearly 500,000 are injured every year due to alcohol related traffic crashes.
• Last year Arvada had 140 alcohol related crashes
• Already this year we have seen several people critically injured and one person die as a result of an alcohol-related traffic crash.

Together we can help end drunk driving.
