Program Description:
T he Oklahoma County Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Court is a court system dedicated to changing the behavior
of alcohol/drug dependent offenders arrested for DUI using
a cooperative approach between the judge, assistant district
attorney, assistant public defender, probation officer, local law
enforcement and the DUI Court coordinator.
Early in the legal process, the offender’s attorney applies for
the case to go before the DUI Court. The DUI Court coordinator
sends the application to the District Attorney’s office who decides
whether the offender is eligible to have his case considered
there. Once the offender’s case is deemed eligible, the offender
undergoes an assessment to discover if he has mental health
needs, education, employment, and other issues.
Offenders are then referred to a treatment provider to deal
with addiction and recovery. Once referred, they must submit to
frequent alcohol and/or drug testing, are closely supervised by
probation officers and participate in ongoing judicial supervision
through non-adversarial court review hearings. The DUI Court
judge monitors offenders to ensure continued participation, and
these offenders are rewarded or sanctioned as appropriate.
