PURPOSE. . .

The DUI Victim Impact Panel Program is an awareness program for first-time offenders convicted of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.  The program was created with one purpose in mind: to show offenders first-hand about the trauma, physical pain, emotional suffering and devastation, financial loss, anger and frustration that is commonly experienced by innocent victims and their family members resulting from a DUI related crash.  

Individuals who are arrested for driving under the influence are consumed with the actual arrest, attorney fees, court dates, and the fear of going to jail.  Seldom, if ever, does the offender think about the potential for catastrophic injury or death to themselves, or worse yet, to innocent victims.

The DUI Victim Impact Panel is conducted in both English and Spanish and is a non-confrontational presentation consisting of crime victims telling their own personal stories of how impaired drivers forever changed their lives.  The panel presents a unique perspective to the offender that is often overlooked or simply cannot be taught by the courts and the DUI offender schools.
