12. Planning:
Existing programs will only change in the
way they are accessed
Existing DUI Court System, jail alternative
program, ADIS and DUI panel remain
intact
But
*A component of study and evaluation to
determine effectiveness
* New Liaison program
o Responsible for management of the
caseload outside of the court room
o Brings new and existing programs
together creating a cohesive and more
effective network toward success
13. Implementation: Tactics
-focused on carrying out goals and strategic planning
Process management liaison
o 3 paid positions supported with criminal justice interns
o Using interns supports long-term goals future lawyers working within the desire
court system
Environmental Strategies
o Positive Community Norms Development and Marketing Most of Us
o Responsible alcohol sales training
On-going and important component of long term success
Focus on what is right-communities shift toward healthy choices and away
from negative actions.
Recent changes in the distribution centers mean an increase in emphasis
on training for those newer establishment selling alcohol products
Liquor Control Board law and recommendations
14. Reduce Underage Drinking (RUAD) Education and Intervention Strategy Sessions
o CRASH better able to standardize education components in schools across city and
county
o Add 2 part series in conjunction with Drivers Education course
o MADD program of education of Grades 1-6 a template to local education system
It is not too early to start education our young against improper use of alcohol
15.
*Ignition Interlock Rule for all first-time DUI offenders
o 50 states have some sort of ignition interlock laws
o 15 states have adopted all offender interlock laws
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analysis of 14 studies showed DUI
recidivism reduced by a median of 67%
o
Spokane County chosen to model court system dynamics and changes to institute 1st
time Ignition Interlock Rule
Dont get locked up, get interlock!
16. Framing Issues and Tactics
o Public defenders, lawyers and judges suggest court system will be burdened by case
load
Creating havoc within the courts VS. saving lives
Establish a working relationship with courts
Relational meetings between CRASH representatives
o Retired court Judge Malcolm Smith
o 2 lawyers of member CRASH
o Our intent, open dialogue, court input
o Negative public response
Taking away freedom, forcing compliance, lumping offenders VS. saving lives
Media contacts to reinforce the reduction in DUI fatalities
Work closely with law enforcement agencies when DUI patrol
announced to maintain flow of info re: ignition interlock and reducing
drunk driving
o Costs
Costs too much ($480/6mon) VS cost of a life
Issues at present, compliance is most important and courts and
probation officers will be asked for imput
17.
Other Tactics
o Educational Component
Youth team presentations regarding peer pressure, realities of ignition
interlock and strategies to achieve a healthy lifestyle
o Community Readiness
Increasing area providers
Better Business Bureau Sound on Wheels
MADD link House and Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee has introduced an American Energy and Infrastructure
Job Act which would incentivize states to require these life-saving
devices.
o Letters

Interlock Rule

community both positive and negative.
20. FROM A VIRGINIA CHAPTER OF MADD,
Were to the point where almost everyone knows that [he or she]
shouldnt drink and drive. The people who are still doing it are
choosing to do it. The most effective way to deal with them is to
arrest them.
Or, as CRASH says, to INTERLOCK them!
