In a press release dated June 4, 2012, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) California announced the recipients of the MADD California Hero Awards for 2012. Included in those receiving the award was Costa Mesa police officer Kha Bao for his outstanding work taking drunk drivers off our streets. You will recall that officer Bao was recently recognized with the Employee of the Month Award for his exemplary work, HERE.
The 14th anniversary of the MADD California Statewide Law Enforcement and Community Recognition Dinner - Celebrate California Heroes, was attended by more than 600 people from 53 California counties who gathered to see awards given to individual officers, departments, state park agencies, media and community partners whose actions and policies are aligned with MADD's mission to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime and prevent underage drinking.
Once again, congratulations to Officer Kha Bao for his diligence in removing drunk drivers from our streets and making them just that much safer for us all. He's yet another reason we should be proud of ALL the members of the CMPD for all the work they do to keep our city safe.
Many thanks to Officer Kha Bao and to all the police officers who work to keep drunk drivers off our streets. Their vigilance saves lives. Because their work is preventive, we never know whose life was saved and often forget to thank these important public servants.
