In 2006, an off-duty police officer in San Diego began tailing Steve Foley(notes), then a linebacker with the San Diego Chargers. Suspecting Foley was driving drunk, the officer ordered Foley to pull over and shot Foley after the player allegedly ignored the officer.
Shaken by the incident, a San Diego police detective joined forces with then-Chargers running back Lorenzo Neal(notes) and started a company that helps make sure NFL players who have been out drinking get home safely. The company, Safe Ride Solutions, is endorsed by the NFL, and uses current and former law enforcement officials to drive home players in the players' own vehicles.
The company's success depends in large part on confidentiality, said Gary Lawrence, the police detective who conceived the idea.
"They don't want the owners to look at them in a negative light if they use the service," Lawrence said. "They don't want them to think they have an alcohol problem if they don't."
The Chargers were the first NFL team to use Safe Ride Solutions. Though the NFL leaves the decision up to teams, a league spokesman said 75 percent of teams now use such services

After a night of revelry, the last person you want to encounter is a police officer. But a nationwide car service employs off-duty and retired police officers to pick up revelers and drive them home safely. Lorenzo Neal, NFL fullback and founder of Safe Ride Solutions, shares his determination to put an end to drunk driving and explains why this method might actually work.
"It's a nationwide DUI prevention program that uses off-duty officers or retired officers," Lorenzo explains. "They will come pick you up, as well as your car and your friends, and take you home safely. You can get your car home safely, you're home safely, knowing that the people that are taking you home are professional, trained officers who are providing a service and giving back to the community."
Lorenzo adds that all the officers sign confidentiality agreements, and privacy is ensured. For more information, go to www.saferidesolutions.com or www.saferidesolutions.net.
