27 Nebraska State Troopers were presented Hero Awards on Wednesday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) presented Hero Awards to 27 Nebraska State Troopers on Wednesday.

The State Troopers were celebrated for their efforts in removing intoxicated drivers from streets, and educating the public of the dangers of driving drunk.

Throughout 2020, State Troopers arrested almost 1,000 drivers for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

“These honors from MADD are a great recognition for the constant work it takes to keep roads safe, but they also serve as a reminder that the job is ongoing. We salute MADD for their invaluable work to keep the topic of impaired driving at the forefront of the safe-driving conversation,” said Colonel John Bolduc.
