Research Says: Best Practices in Assessment, Management, and Treatment of Impaired Drivers is proudly presented to you by CEQ American Probation and Parole Association. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
In 2010, there were 1.4 million drivers arrested for driving under the influence. Probation and parole departments can face unique challenges in assessing risk levels for these individuals and determining the most appropriate type of supervision to minimize the risk of a re-offense. This webinar will provide an overview and continuum of evidence based practices for impaired drivers from intake to discharge including the latest research on assessment tools, supervision strategies, available technologies, the use of DWI Courts as well as alcohol treatment programming to help officers maximize their effectiveness while reducing risk to the community. This webinar is produced by the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) with funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Learning Objectives:
By the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify how DUI assessments have an impact on supervision strategies
- List at least two supervision strategies that are effective in the supervision of DUI offenders
- Describe how assessments can help deliver the most appropriate treatment dosage based on offender risk and needs
- Identify current and pending resources available from APPA and NHTSA to support improving community supervision of impaired driving offenders.
