Letter from Chesterfield Township Police Chief: MADD Winner Keeps Public Safe

Chesterfield Township Police Chief Bruce Smith acknowledges Eric Meier's efforts in catching drunken drivers.

It gives me great pride to announce that the Chesterfield Police Department’s 2011 Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) award winner is Eric Meier.  Once again Eric has led the department with 39 drunk driving arrests.  Eric has consistently been the department’s MADD award winner for many years.  He was given special recognition at last year’s MADD banquet as one of the top ten officers in the entire state for his efforts to get drunken and drugged drivers off of the Township’s roadways. I want to give my  personal thanks to Eric for the outstanding job he did in 2011 as well as his past achievements.  Eric stands out among his peers as one of the most effective police officers across the state. Eric’s efforts are a credit to his training…
