MADD donates camera for DUI convictions
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office has now received a camera and digital DVR which is slated to be installed at the Okaloosa County Jail in Crestview for the purpose of recording offenders arrested for DUI.
This equipment was purchased for the agency by the Okaloosa/Walton Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD).
It is the second donation of this type by MADD. The organization is responsible for providing the first set last year. That equipment is currently in use at the Shalimar Annex for interviewing DUI offenders and also conducting criminal interviews.
This most recent purchase was one of the last of many generous acts conducted by the late Pete Wolniewicz of Fort Walton Beach, a dedicated 28 year volunteer of MADD.
He was assisted in the effort by Todd Rosenbaum, MADD Florida Executive Director. Their goal centered on providing technology that will assist in the apprehension and prosecution of drunk driving offenders in Okaloosa County.
