County Executive

Dear Friends: Monroe County remains fully committed to keeping our roads safe for

travelers and families through aggressive DWI enforcement and prevention. Together, the Monroe County Public Safety Department, Office of Probation,

and STOP-DWI collaborate with the Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies to discourage anyone from driving while intoxicated.

In 2015, local law enforcement agencies made 2,574 arrests due to intoxicated driving and driving under the influence of other substances.

These arrests are a true testament to our community’s commitment to combating DWI. Each and every arrest makes our roadways a little safer.

The pain and anguish that DWI victims suffer can last a lifetime. Through the Monroe County Victims Resource Center, victims are able to seek the

assistance and support they need to help cope with tragedy. Additionally, the County’s STOP-DWI Education Program remains an effective tool in the prevention and education of the harmful impacts caused by driving while

intoxicated.

Despite all of our progress, it is important to always remember that every person with a driver’s license has the opportunity to make this community a safer and better place by choosing not to drink and drive.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Dinolfo

Monroe County Executive

During 2015, displays were exhibited at area schools, shopping malls, industries, fairs, and town halls in which over 27,500 traffic safety and anti-DWI literature items and novelties were distributed. Exhibits: In 2015, the “One Second, Everything Changes” exhibit was displayed at Rush/Henrietta High School which features a former Rush/Henrietta Student that was killed by an impaired driver. STOP-DWI Education Programs: During 2015, 58 programs were presented to 2,058 people whose ratings exceeded 90% satisfaction. High School Mini-Grants: During the spring of 2015, a total of $3,500 was distributed among 14 high schools for their alcohol-free and other drug-free prom-time events. High School DWI-DVD Contest: The Monroe County STOP-DWI Program sponsored its fourth annual STOP-DWI High School anti-DWI DVD Contest. The first, second and third place winners were from Penfield High School and one honorable mention from Irondequoit High School. The first place commercial was aired on Channel 10 WHEC-TV, twenty-seven times during Thanksgiving holiday. Law Enforcement Conference: Monroe County STOP-DWI and NYS STOP-DWI Foundation, Inc., co-sponsored it’s sixth annual full-day Law Enforcement Conference. The title of the training was “Legal Science of Courtroom Success for DWI”. Thirty-four officers from multiple Monroe County and other Western NY county agencies attended and were trained. The satisfaction level was very high from the officers. The conference success was attributed to all agencies’ efforts. STOP-DWI Law Enforcement Awards Luncheon: One-hundred-fourteen people attended the luncheon, co-sponsored by the Traffic Safety Board, held at the Burgundy Basin Inn on March 5, 2015.

DWI VICTIM IMPACT PANEL (VIP)

The Monroe County DWI Victim Impact Panel (VIP) consists of three or four DWI victims who address an audience of DWI offenders about the impaired driving crashes in which they experienced injury or a loved one was killed. A law enforcement officer may also serve as a panelist alongside the victims. The goal of the Panel is to deliver a message to raise awareness of the ripple effect of impaired driving with the intent to save lives. This does not replace conventional sentencing, but supplements it. The VIP is financially self-sufficient with fees collected which are allocated to the VIP Victim Advocate, Victim Honorarium, Probation, Law Enforcement, equipment, and other supporting expenses. The first DWI Victim Impact Panel was held in Monroe County in January 1992. The Panel is offered as a sentencing tool for all DWAI and DWI offenders.

OFFICE OF PROBATION – COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS

The Monroe County Office of Probation -- Community Corrections received $122,485 from STOP-DWI in 2015 to support services of the DWI Felony team. During 2015, this team supervised 820 offenders.

The DWI Felony team is comprised of six Probation Officers and two Senior Probation Officers. Probation Officers assigned to this team maintain specialized caseloads in order to provide enhanced supervision. This includes surveillance, unscheduled field visits, close monitoring of treatment progress, more frequent contact with probationers and family members, increased Alco-sensor testing and urine screening, and quarterly checks of DMV records of DWI offenders to ensure they have not registered new vehicles without installing an ignition interlock device.

Overall, the Office of Probation supervised a total of 1,753 DWI offenders during 2015 which included 933 misdemeanor DWI offenders. Further, this Office supervised 9 Vehicular Assault offenders, 2 Vehicular Manslaughter offenders, and 160 Aggravated Unlicensed Operator offenders. As of March 16, 2016, this Office monitored a total of 592 offenders that were using Ignition Interlock Devices (192 probationers and 400 conditional discharge offenders).

Surveillance

Probation Officers frequently conduct surveillance on DWI offenders to ensure compliance with the conditions of probation. DWI Surveillance Details are assembled to target offenders deemed at risk for repeated offenses. The Details were conducted with the goal of enforcing conditions of probation prohibiting unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and the consumption of alcohol. In 2015, 9 DWI Surveillance Details conducted surveillance on 308 offenders. During these Details, 42 offenders were found to be in violation of their order and conditions of probation. During office visits, Probation Officers conduct walking surveillances of probationers to see if they have driven to the building. Probationers are monitored at their homes, jobs, and other locations in the community during the day and night, weekdays and weekends.

Random Alco-sensor tests are routinely conducted during office and home visits on all probationers but especially those deemed to be a risk for potential alcohol abuse. Alco-sensor tests enable officers to confirm the absence or presence of alcohol and, if appropriate, to quickly intervene through either a Violation of Probation and/or suitable treatment alternatives. Urine-screen tests are also conducted in the office to detect the use of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, and morphine-based drugs. Early detection and expedient intervention further protects the community and enhances public safety.

The Office of Probation and Community Corrections is committed to continuing surveillance of high-risk probationers convicted of DWI offenses. The Office remains highly motivated to pursue the mission of ensuring public safety through vigorous supervision of sentenced offenders, particularly those sentenced to probation for DWI offenses.

PRE-TRIAL SERVICES CORPORATION

PRE-TRIAL FELONY DWI DIVERSION

Felony DWI Diversion is a deferred prosecution program whereby all criminal proceedings are delayed while the client engages in a planned treatment program. The client is monitored in the treatment program over a six- to eight-month period. Participation is voluntary and clients must agree to immediately surrender their driver's license upon entering the program and pay a program fee, if financially able. Clients are screened through the District Attorney's DWI Bureau before referral to the Diversion program. Successful completion of Felony DWI Diversion is based on the client's ability to demonstrate significant attitudinal and behavioral change, and results in an offer to plead to a misdemeanor in satisfaction of the felony charge. If the client fails to follow through on the treatment plan and the Diversion contract requirements, the case is returned to court for prosecution. Diversion is offered only once. Pre-Trial Felony DWI Diversion received $56,787 in STOP-DWI funds in 2015. One hundred-eighteen cases were seen for intake in 2015. 95 cases or 81% of all terminations were closed successfully in the year. Pre-Trial Services is committed to providing effective intervention with multiple DWI offenders and will continue to measure the long-term outcomes for the Felony DWI Diversion Program.

WEEKEND DWI SENTENCE PROGRAM AT PRE-TRIAL SERVICES

Structured to provide a sentencing option for those convicted of DWI, the Weekend Sentence program offers an intervention-focused approach. Those sentenced to this program attend structured classes from Friday night through Sunday afternoon, addressing important issues such as alcohol abuse, personal responsibility and reducing risk-taking behaviors. Judges sentence offenders for a specific number of weekends. Clients are required pay a program fee, if financially able. Both attendance and client progress are monitored closely by the staff and reported back to the court. During 2015, 180 clients were sentenced to the program. Of those who completed within the year, 91% did so successfully. The average number of weekends spent in the program was eight. STOP-DWI funds supplied $110,236 to support this sentencing option in 2015.
