Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)

From its humble beginnings 25 years ago, MADD has evolved into one of the most widely supported and well-liked non-profit organizations in America. Learn about how MADD first started, the history of our fight against drunk driving and for victims' rights, and some of their victories along the way at the MADD website.
The CSUSM Police Department supports MADD and their 25 years of continuous service for all Americans. The CSUSM police want to remind you all to drive safe and sober.
"MADD wants everyone to remember the three keys to protecting themselves while on the roads: drive safe, drive sober and drive buckled up," said MADD National President Wendy J. Hamilton. "Drunk driving crashes are preventable, yet they still are the most frequently committed violent crime in America."

MADD and the Campus Police Department reminds everyone:

  ● Be responsible and don't risk it … you will be caught.
  ● If you plan to drink, choose a designated driver before going out.
  ● Take mass transit, a taxicab, or ask a sober friend to drive you home.
  ● Spend the night where the activity is being held.
  ● Report impaired drivers to law enforcement.
  ● Always buckle up - it's your best defense against an impaired driver.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit grass roots organization with around 600 chapters nationwide. MADD is not a crusade against alcohol consumption – MADD's mission is to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking. 

Drunk driving and its consequences can be prevented. Tackling it requires the involvement of every concerned citizen. You can take action to make your community a healthier and safer place. Join the CSUSM Police Department and a growing number of people across the nation who have launched coordinated efforts to prevent drunk driving in their communities.
