On Wednesday July 9th Kim and John Barney of the Chisago County/Isanti County MADD Chapter presented the Lakes Area Police Department with a brand new Portable Breath Testing Device (PBT).  The cost of a new PBT ranges from $350 to $800 roughly. MADD has work with Law Enforcement as well as state law makers to improve the awareness of the tragedy that drunk driving causes. MADD has also worked very hard to strengthen drunken driving laws. Lakes Area Police Commission gratefully accepted the PBT at their regular Commission Meeting on July 9th 2008. Both Kim and John Barney continue to volunteer countless hours to help make Minnesota Roads a safer place to drive.
