East Haven Police Officers Honored by MADD

EAST HAVEN, CT - On Tuesday, May 24, 2016, Mothers Against Drunk Driving held their 30th Annual Law Enforcement Recognition Ceremony at Central Connecticut State University.

East Haven Police Officers Kershen Bissette, Kevin McGuire and Luke Rasile received Certificates of Appreciation and were honored for their dedication to public safety, each having recorded the highest number of impaired driver motor vehicle stops within the Town of East Haven.

Overall, East Haven police officers took 94 intoxicated drivers off the roads last year. Their enforcement work ensures a safer driving environment for everyone, and we are extremely proud of their efforts.

Statement from MADD website: “Officers keep us safe in many ways, including on the roadways. They work long hours with low pay, deal with difficult situations, and put themselves in danger on a daily basis – and some pay the ultimate price. Fortyfour percent of the officers killed in the line of duty were killed in traffic crashes. That’s why MADD supports these heroes who keep our roads safe.”
