From the time a suspected impaired driver is pulled over by law enforcement, each aspect of the criminal justice continuum, from arrest through sentencing, offers its own complexities. Law enforcement officers, prosecutors, toxicologists, judges and community supervision officers all play a role leading to the disposition of DWI cases. To augment these efforts, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has supported the creation of Law Enforcement Liaisons, Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors, Toxicologist and Judicial Outreach liaisons as well as Probation Fellow positions to provide assistance and expertise in helping our communities address the challenge of impaired driving. In this interactive session, these subject matter experts will describe their mission, the impact their programs have on impaired driving, and available resources to assist you in more effectively combatting impaired driving.
