Mothers Against Drunk Driving honor officers from across Central Florida

WINTER PARK --
Hundreds of state troopers, police officers and deputies from around Central Florida have received a big thank you for their hard work.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving recognized the officers for their efforts to stop drinking and driving, just in time for the busy spring break season.

"It's good to feel recognized," said Florida state Trooper José Ramirez. "I think myself and other officers don't do it for the recognition. We do it for what we do: To remove impaired drivers so we can save lives."

MADD's Florida chapter also honored state attorneys and volunteers for their efforts against drunk driving.

The group said it is also kicking off a new national campaign to get parents to talk to their teenagers about the dangers of drinking and driving.
