Last Thursday EPPD Officer Chad Streiff received a Red Medallion award from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).

The Red Medallion Award is given to officers who made more than 150 DWI arrests the previous year. Officer Streiff made 156 DWI arrests in 2023. Only three officers in Minnesota received Red Medallion Awards this year. This is the second year in a row that Officer Streiff has received a Red Medallion.

Officer Streiff serves as a full-time DWI officer thanks to a grant from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. He and officers across Minnesota will be out this holiday weekend looking for drunk drivers and distracted drivers. Please do your part to keep the roads safe this Memorial Day weekend: wear your seatbelt, put away your phone and don’t drink and drive!

Congratulations Officer Streiff!
