The purpose of this agreement is twofold.

The first is to determine and understand roadblocks to state implementation of DWI courts (e.g., resources, lack of state stakeholder interest/politics, legislation, judges’ perceptions, lack of client interest, etc.).

Based on the findings, the recipient will develop a toolkit and training that will assist jurisdictions to start a DWI court or improve outcomes in an existing DWI court.

The second purpose of this agreement is to conduct a study that evaluates non-DWI courts in the use of evidence-based tools and practices during the adjudication of impaired driving cases to reduce recidivism.

Based on the findings of the study, the recipient will produce a second toolkit that contains best practices for non-DWI courts and training on how to use these tools to reduce recidivism.
