Christiansburg Police Department Officer David Haidle was one of more than 200 law enforcement officials throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia recognized for outstanding efforts in DWI enforcement and education recently in a virtual ceremony on the @MADDVA Facebook page.

Each year, MADD recognizes the brave men and women of Virginia for their commitment to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes and prevent underage drinking.

Together with statewide event sponsor State Farm Insurance, the Virginia office of Mothers against Drunk Driving recognizes heroes from around Virginia who champion MADD’s mission. Throughout October, MADD Virginia will continue to highlight the great work of each award recipient on their Facebook page.

“Every day at State Farm we see the devastating toll automobile crashes have on families,” said State Farm Insurance spokesperson Kate Beadle. “We are committed to helping drivers understand the importance of sobriety behind the wheel. We want to thank officers such as David Haidle who are being recognized for helping to educate others and helping to keep our roadways safe.”
