    Clayton Hildahl, Deputy Chief Probation Officer of Yavapai County Adult Probation, accepted the award on behalf of MATFORCE.  Hildahl said, “This achievement is the result of the many hundreds of media partners who have joined MATFORCE to help raise awareness and thereby reduce the damaging effects of substance abuse.”
