Mothers Against Drunk Driving honorees

Downey police officers Michael Powell (left) and Mark Caswell were honored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving last week for their proactive efforts in getting drunk drivers off Downey streets. Caswell arrested 65 suspected drunk drivers last year, while Powell arrested 51. Both were honored this morning at the annual Law Enforcement Recognition & DUI Training Ceremony at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. “Drunk drivers continue to kill, injure and endanger hundreds of people in our state each year,” officials with the Downey Police Department said in a statement. “Officers Caswell and Powell took a proactive stance to reduce these numbers in the city of Downey.”
