Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
The purpose of all available DWI grants to local communities is to fund new, innovative or model programs, services or activities of any kind designed to prevent or reduce the incidence of DWI, whether related to alcoholism and alcohol or other drug abuse, as described below.
A. Prevention is an active process for developing conditions and personal attributes that promote the well-being of people. Prevention activities are designed to promote the personal, holistic and social growth of individuals to support those aspects of the community and culture which promote positive behaviors and healthy lifestyles. Prevention programs focus on providing information, education and alternatives in an effort to reduce the inclination toward DWI behavior. Community participation is critical to promote a healthy safe environment and must involve individuals, family and community groups.
B. New or pilot screening and assessment services shall be designed to become self-sustaining. Screening programs shall be established in collaboration with the district, magistrate, metropolitan and municipal courts to be served by the screening program. Where feasible, screening programs shall not be operated by alcoholism treatment programs serving judicial districts in order to avoid conflicts of interest when recommending offenders for treatment.
C. DWI treatment programs shall be specifically designed to reduce the incidence of DWI and to successfully reduce repeat DWI offenses.
D. DWI alternative sentencing programs shall be specifically designed to reduce the incidence of DWI, and successful in reducing repeat DWI offenses.
