A local RCMP officer has been recognized for his dedication and support of Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Sergeant Mark Booth, of the BC Highway Patrol (BCHP), was recently transferred from the Kelowna/Central Okanagan Detachment where he was in charge of the Kelowna Municipal Traffic Section.
“During his tenure as the NCO i/c of this unit, Sgt. Booth committed his team to the detection and apprehension of numerous impaired drivers, producing some of the highest results in the province,” said Cpl. Michael Gauthier, media relations officer.
Bill Hetland with MADD Central Okanagan said Sgt. Booth has been a tremendous help to the community, and by bringing awareness to the organization’s cause.
“Mark’s assistance and expertise helped in our bigger goal to see more mandatory alcohol screening in the province that will help keep impaired drivers off the roads, water, and backcountry.”
