Was nice to see see so many dedicated officers, deputies, and troopers at the annual MADD awards dinner. This year, award recipients included Fluvanna County Sheriff's Office Deputy Sean Brennan, Greene County Sheriff Deputy Milton Chen,
Albemarle Police Department Officer Katherine Kane, and Lake Monticello PD Officer Karolyn Sumner. Also nice to see John and Amanda Petrylak, who testified in Richmond this year to help change DUI penalties where the driver caused serious bodily injury.
This was a lot of work for this community and this office is still humbled by the outpouring of help from everyone. WE made a difference.
