STOP-DWI 2010 PUBLIC INFORMATION AND EDUCATION

Displays: All STOP-DWI displays are comprehensive traffic safety displays held in conjunction with the Monroe County Office of Traffic Safety. During 2010, displays were exhibited at area schools, shopping malls, industries, fairs, and town halls where anti-DWI literature and novelties were distributed.

Exhibits: The “One Second, Everything Changes” exhibit was unveiled on November 18, 2008, and was displayed at Rush-Henrietta High School reaching hundreds of high schools students.

STOP-DWI Education Programs: During 2010, 84 programs were presented to 2,997 people with over a 90% satisfaction rating. Thank you to all of the DWI victims/survivors who volunteered their time to these programs.

High School Mini-Grants: During the spring of 2010, a total of $5,250 was distributed among 21 high schools for their alcohol-free and other drug-free prom-time events.

High School Poster Contest: The Monroe County STOP-DWI Program sponsored its annual STOP-DWI High School Poster Contest which generated 62 entries from six schools county-wide. Individual prizes for the two categories (graphic arts and non-graphic arts students) included $250 for first place, $100 for second place, and $50 for third place. The first place graphic and non-graphic arts posters became billboards, which were displayed in Rochester late December 2010. The award ceremony was held on May 21, 2010 at the County Office Building with County Executive Maggie Brooks presenting the awards.

STOP-DWI Law Enforcement Luncheon: The luncheon was co-sponsored by the Traffic Safety Board which was held at Rick’s Prime Rib House on March 3, 2010. Four departments received awards for their efforts in the DWI arena: NYS Troopers, Ogden Police Department, East Rochester, and Fairport Police Departments. Individually, 35 officers were chosen by their departments to receive awards for their outstanding efforts to combat the problem of DWI.

Victim Impact Panel Appreciation Dinner: Approximately, 58 people attended the STOP-DWI hosted dinner at Rick’s Prime Rib House on December 2, 2010. All the DWI Victim Impact Panel and community education program volunteers were invited. The gratitude offered to volunteers for their support and willingness to share their personal experiences is grossly understated and cannot be expressed to a satisfactory level.

“Lights on for Life” Motorcade: The annual motorcade was held December 11, 2010 with over 30 vehicles participating. Rochester Against Intoxicated Driving (RAID) co-sponsored the event and donated refreshments.

Media: The STOP-DWI Program participated in a variety of media coverage during 2010 such as the Law Enforcement Luncheon, Victim’s Rights Week March, Safe and Sober Press Conference, High School Poster Contest, Crackdown Weekends Press Conference, and the “One Second, Everything Changes” Exhibit. This program appreciates the support the media has given in delivering our important message to drive safe and sober.

DWI VICTIM IMPACT PANEL The Monroe County DWI Victim Impact Panel (VIP) consists of three or four DWI victims who address an audience of DWI offenders about the drunk-driving crashes in which they experienced injury or a loved one was killed. A law enforcement officer may also serve as a panelist alongside the victims. The goal of the Panel is to deliver a message to change the behavior of the drinking driver; therefore, to save lives. This does not replace conventional sentencing, but supplements it. The VIP is self-sufficient through fees collected. In 2010, the $39,201 collected in fees was allocated to expenses related to the Victim Advocate, Victim Honorarium, Probation, and other expenses. The first DWI Victim Impact Panel was held in Monroe County in January 1992. The Panel is offered as a sentencing tool for all DWAI and DWI offenders.

OFFICE OF PROBATION AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS

The Monroe County Office of Probation and Community Corrections received $121,151 from STOP-DWI in 2010. These funds supported the services of the DWI Felony Unit. During 2010 this unit supervised 1,066 offenders.

The DWI Felony Unit is comprised of six Probation Officers and one Senior Probation Officer. The unit supervises probationers identified as the most high-risk DWI Felony offenders. Probation Officers assigned to this team maintain specialized caseloads in order to provide enhanced supervision. This includes surveillance, bar check details, unscheduled field visits, close monitoring of treatment progress, more frequent contact with probationers and family members, and increased Alco-sensor testing and urine screening.

Overall, the Office of Probation supervised a total of 2,269 DWI offenders during 2010 which included 1,203 misdemeanor DWI offenders. Currently this office oversees 153 offenders that are using Ignition Interlock devices. Violations of Probation were filed on 300 offenders who failed to comply with Probation. Sanctions included prison, jail, jail weekends, jail work weekends, electronic monitoring, community service, and judgments ordered for unpaid fines and surcharges.

Further, this Office supervised four Vehicular Assault 2nd offenders, five Vehicular Assault 1st offenders, three Vehicular Manslaughter 2nd offenders, and over 200 Aggravated Unlicensed Operator offenders.

In 2010 the Office of Probation collected a total of $424,019.83 in DWI fines.

Surveillance

Probation Officers frequently conduct surveillance on DWI offenders to ensure compliance with the conditions of probation. DWI Surveillance details are assembled to target offenders deemed at risk for repeated offenses. In 2010, 3 DWI Surveillance Details comprised of 54 Probation Officers conducted surveillance on 166 offenders.

The details were conducted with the goal of enforcing conditions of probation prohibiting unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and the consumption of alcohol. During office visits, Probation Officers conduct walking surveillances of probationers to see if they have driven to the building. Probationers are monitored at their homes, jobs, and other locations in the community during the day and night, weekdays, and weekends.

Random Alco-sensor tests are routinely conducted during office and home visits on all probationers but especially those deemed to be a risk for potential alcohol abuse. Alco-sensor tests enable officers to confirm the absence or presence of alcohol and, if appropriate, to quickly intervene through either a Violation of Probation and/or suitable treatment alternatives. Urine-screen tests are also conducted in the office to detect the use of marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, and morphine-based drugs. Early detection and expedient intervention further protects the community and enhances public safety. In 2010 Probation Officers conducted Alco-sensor testing for two STOP-DWI Check Point Details resulting in several arrests for DWI.

The Office of Probation and Community Corrections is committed to continuing surveillance of high-risk probationers convicted of DWI offenses. The Office remains highly motivated to pursue the mission of ensuring public safety through vigorous supervision of sentenced offenders, particularly those sentenced to probation for DWI offenses.

PRE-TRIAL SERVICES CORPORATION

PRE-TRIAL FELONY DWI DIVERSION

Felony DWI Diversion is a deferred prosecution program whereby all criminal proceedings are delayed while the client engages in a planned treatment program. The client is monitored in the treatment program over a six- to eight-month period. Participation is voluntary and clients must agree to immediately surrender their driver's license upon entering the program and pay a program fee, if financially able. Clients are screened through the District Attorney's DWI Bureau before referral to the Diversion program. Successful completion of Felony DWI Diversion is based on the client's ability to demonstrate significant attitudinal and behavioral change, and results in an offer to plead to a misdemeanor in satisfaction of the felony charge. If the client fails to follow through on the treatment plan and the Diversion contract requirements, the case is returned to court for prosecution. Diversion is offered only once. Pre-Trial Felony DWI Diversion received $59,915 in STOP-DWI funds in 2010. One hundred and four cases were seen for intake in 2010. 112 cases or 88% of all terminations were closed successfully in the year. Pre-Trial Services is committed to providing effective intervention with multiple DWI offenders and will continue to measure the long-term outcomes for the Felony DWI Diversion Program.

WEEKEND DWI SENTENCE PROGRAM AT THE DAY REPORTING CENTER

Structured to provide a sentencing option for those convicted of DWI, the Weekend Sentence program offers an intervention-focused approach. Those sentenced to this program attend structured classes from Friday night through Sunday evening, addressing important issues such as alcohol abuse, personal responsibility and reducing risk-taking behaviors. Judges sentence offenders for a specific number of weekends. Clients are required to pay fees to help support the program. Both attendance and client progress are monitored closely by the staff and reported back to the court. During 2010, 121 clients were sentenced to the program. Of those who completed within the year, 92% did so successfully. The average number of weekends spent in the program was seven. STOP-DWI funds supplied $116,305 to support this sentencing option in 2010.
