Impaired Driving Guidebook
In response to the national crisis of Impaired Driving, the International Association of Chief of Police (IACP) commissioned the Impaired Driving Subcommittee in 2005 to address ways that law enforcement can renew their efforts to get impaired drivers off the road.
On November 8, 2006, the work of this sub-committee, The Impaired Driving Guidebook will be introduced to all law enforcement agencies in the nation. The purpose of the Guidebook is to give law enforcement ideas on how to make a significant impact on lowering the number of DUI collisions and increase the number of DUI arrests in preparation for the holiday season. The report boils down to three key principals: Leadership, Criminal Justice Collaboration, and Communication.
This Guidebook is written for law enforcement leaders. MADD has a limited number of hard copies of this document. This publication is posted on the following Web sites:
