Program Description:
T he DUI Enforcement Program was created by the Tallahassee
Police Department with three goals in mind: To increase impaired
driving arrests by 25%, to reduce impaired driving crashes
by 25% and to reduce impaired driving fatal crashes by 50%.
As a starting point, the department focused on providing enhanced
training to law enforcement officers and created training
materials to identify aspects of and assist with DUI investigations,
the DUI arrest process, detection of DUIs and court room testimony
on DUI cases.
The Tallahassee Police Department also worked to elevate the
perception of risk for DUI arrests. In order to change behavior
among the general population, people had to believe they would
be caught if they drove while impaired by alcohol. The Department
believed that an increased fear of being arrested would result in
fewer people driving drunk.
One of the key components of the campaign was the selection
of highly motivated law enforcement officers. Initially, 11 officers
who were highly motivated in the area of traffic safety were chosen
for the DUI enforcement program. Eventually 15 additional officers
were added to the program.
Another key element of the program was focusing scarce resources
in key areas. Data revealed that in Tallahassee 50% of the
DUI offenders were between the ages of 18-25 and more alcoholrelated
driving fatalities occurred on Tuesday nights than on any
other night in the city. This data was utilized to focus enforcement
activity during key times and at key locations.
