From being on the forefront of MADD&#8217;s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving to partnering with various programs and events, law enforcement has allowed us to be visible to the community while also saving lives.<br \/><br \/>\n\nUnfortunately, drunk driving deaths continue to rise. Over the past three years, the U.S. has seen an increase in impaired driving, especially during the pandemic. Overall, drunk driving deaths increased by 14% in 2020 and again in 2021, rising to more than 13,000 for the first time since 2006.<br \/><br \/>\n\nWith these astonishing numbers, we have much work to do, and we cannot finish the fight without you. I value our long-standing partnership and applaud your dedicated efforts while risking your lives every day helping us end this 100% preventable crime.<br \/><br \/>\n\nThank you for all you do and together we will create a nation of <font color=\"#b3282d\">No More Victims.<\/font><br \/><br \/>\n\nSincerely,<br \/><br \/>\n\nStacey D. Stewart<br \/><br \/>\nEditor\u2019s note: reprinted from the opening page of the MADD Impaired Driving Toolkit: A Law Enforcement Leaders\u2019s Guide to Saving Lives.
