Partnerships that Save Lives: How NHTSA Supports Probations Efforts to Stop Impaired Driving
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, August 29, 2023
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has actively supported APPA’s efforts to address the high-risk impaired driving population that find their way onto community supervision. These efforts include the development of the Impaired Driving Assessment (IDA) and the establishment of the APPA Probation Fellow position. This interactive presentation will provide exciting information on NHTSA’s expansion of the Probation Fellow positions as well as a description of their local resources available to probation departments. We will provide an overview of the IDA, and an update on ongoing research surrounding the tool. We will also demonstrate the new technologies that are now available to users including an automated scoring system and user website to increase evaluator efficiencies and provide useful information for departments.
