Driving under the Influence Program

About the Project

The HCSO, SA's Office, and Tampa Crossroads have proposed to initiate an enforcement-prosecution-treatment collaboration program to make the roads of this county safer for everyone. The HCSO will increase its DUI enforcement activities with saturation patrols once a week. The prosecution component entails the hiring of a DUI prosecutor in the hopes of prosecuting more DUI cases. The treatment component will serve 100 repeat DUI offenders and the program will seek to change the client's way of thinking, from criminal thinking patterns to living responsibly in all aspects of life.
