CLEARLAKE, Calif. — A Clearlake Police officer has been honored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving for his efforts to stop impaired driving in the city.

On Tuesday, Officer Daniel Eagle received MADD’s recognition award during the organization’s awards ceremony in Citrus Heights.

This award recognized Officer Eagle for his dedication to driving under the influence, or DUI, enforcement.

In 2022, Officer Eagle made 30 DUI arrests, officials said.

Police said the arrests helped to prevent the potential for traffic collisions and the unnecessary risk to citizens of the community and those traveling through it.

The Clearlake Police Department publicly thanked Eagle for his dedication and service to the community.

Eagle has been a valued member of the Clearlake Police Department since 2018.
