Over the course of his career, McCullough has served in several senior leadership roles, including bureau chief of criminal investigations, a division commander, precinct captain, and commander of the department’s homeland security and emergency preparedness.

Joel Feldman

EndDD.org

Joel Feldman is the founder of EndDD.org (End Distracted Driving), which he created after a crash that killed his 21-year-old daughter Casey. In 2009, Casey was headed to her summer waitressing job in Ocean City, New Jersey, when a distracted driver crashed into her car at a 4-way stop sign intersection. 

EndDD.org has grown into a national effort to educate the public on the dangers of distracted driving. Feldman and his team have developed science-based distracted driving presentations, as well as other resources used by businesses, schools and community groups in educational initiatives. Feldman is a member of the National Transportation Safety Board’s National Distracted Driving Coalition where he chairs the youth education subcommittee. He’s also a committee member for the annual Do Not Disturb While Driving Day.
