Sergeant Keith Hawkins of the NPD received the award from the Bryan, Texas office of MADD, which covers a 15 county area in East Texas. The award was presented by MADD Representative Ben Smith today at the Nacogdoches Police Department.
Nacogdoches County Attorney John Fleming, who prosecutes the majority of DWI cases in Nacogdoches County, praised Hawkins for his work in the field of DWI enforcement. “Sergeant Hawkins stands out-excellent report writing and superior knowledge of subject matter. He was instrumental with blood search warrant protocol and remains a go-to resource for our office,” Fleming said.
Police Chief Jim Sevey said that Sgt. Hawkins has always been a leader in DWI enforcement, having served on a committee that streamlined the blood search warrant protocol for the city of Nacogdoches. This was instrumental in allowing Nacogdoches to become a “No Refusal” city. “Keith remains today as committed as ever to serving our community through strict DWI enforcement efforts”, Sevey said.
Sergeant Hawkins has been with the NPD for 17 years.
