We must continue a vigilant path to educate and enforce drunk and drugged driving laws, as many lives depend on it. \nLaw enforcement officers are tasked with saving lives, and we must continue the fight to ensure enforcement and accountability are present to address this issue.\n<br \/><br \/>\nEditor\u2019s note: reprinted from the MADD Impaired Driving Toolkit: A Law Enforcement Leaders\u2019s Guide to Saving Lives.
