Chief Charles L. Scherpa is pleased to announce that Amherst Police Officers Richard P. MacLean and Scott E. Gallagher received MADD’s 2007 Drive for Life Law Enforcement Award. This award is given each year to selected police officers across the state for their excellence and leadership in drunk-driving enforcement.
On February 26, 2008, Officers MacLean and Gallagher were honored, along with 108 other local and state police officers, at a ceremony at the Devens Common Center, in Devens, MA. These award winners made a total of 2,800 OUI arrests last year.
Officer MacLean has been honored by MADD three times, and he is a charter member of their 'MADD Law Enforcement 100,' having alone effected more than 130 OUI arrests within the last four years. Officer Gallagher was a 2006 award winner.
Together, Officers MacLean and Gallagher made 60 of the Amherst Police Department’s 117 OUI arrests in 2007.
The entire Amherst Police Department was presented with a MADD 2007 Drive for Life Award, and the department was recognized for its overall commitment to OUI enforcement and participation in a Sobriety Checkpoint in 2007.
