CHP-Dublin video in MADD Nor Cal “First Responder Trick Shot Challenge.”

The Pleasanton Police Department and California Highway Patrol’s Dublin office are each finalists in the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Northern California’s “First Responder Trick Shot Challenge.”

The contest, which raises money for MADD and is part of nonprofit’s “Tie One on for Safety” designated driver awareness campaign, asked law enforcement and first responder agencies to submit a short video clip of officers doing a basketball trick shot.

PPD and CHP-Dublin each have videos posted on the MADD website, where residents can vote for their favorite with a $5 donation. The other finalists are West Sacramento PD, CHP-Redwood City, San Bruno PD and Elk Grove PD.

The deadline to vote is Friday (Dec. 11) at 5 p.m., with the winner to be announced Dec. 16. The winning team will receive a wood pellet grill valued at $499. To see the videos, visit www.madd.org/firstresponderstoofs2020.
