MADD Recognizes Lakeland PD DUI Officers

The Florida chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) recently held their annual awards ceremony in Tallahassee to recognize and thank law enforcement officers from across the state for their efforts to arrest drunk drivers.

Four Lakeland Police officers, all members of our DUI Unit, were recognized for each making over 100 DUI arrests in 2007. The officers include Officer Dennis Mosser, Officer Alex Gomez, Officer Sean Finney, and Officer Frank Fitzgerald.

Also receiving special recognition was Officer Sean Finney for making over 1,000 career DUI arrests. Mrs. Flora Price from the Polk County chapter of MADD was on hand to join in the festivities and thank the officers. She is shown below with Officer Finney.

We are gratefully for the dedication of these officers, their constant professionalism in the face of a most difficult assignment, and their unwavering commitment to removing impaired drivers from our roadways. Job well done guys!

- Asst Chief Bill LePere
