County Initiatives
The success of STOP DWI in New York:
-
Self sufficient programs governed by statute
-
Funded by fine revenues generated by DWI convictions
-
“Local option” with common threads such as:
-
specially trained police units dedicated to DWI enforcement
-
special prosecutors and probation officers to handle the caseload
-
support rehabilitation services
-
develop public information and educational campaigns tailored to the communities within the region
Ultimately, each program reflects the needs and priorities of its own communities.
