GRANT AGREEMENT AL23008
SChedule A
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
When the Preventing Repeat Impaired Driving Effectively (PRIDE) grant was implemented in 2006, the
Fresno County Probation Department(FCPD) had seen a significant increase in DUI offenders being placed
on probation. From 2005 to 2006, countywide misdemeanor DUI convictions increased 21%, and
countywide felony DUI convictions increased 121%. The FCPD did not have adequate resources to
effectively supervise felony DUI offenders and local statistics during that time indicated a pressing need for a
concerted effort on reducing DUI incidents in our community.
Alcohol-related deaths and injuries have declined substantially during the time Fresno County has operated
this Repeat DUI program. We compared Fresno County's DUI experience during the three years prior to
implementation of our Repeat DUI program to the time period since Repeat DUI has been in
operation. According to the California Highway Patrol's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System
(SWITRS), alcohol-related fatalities decreased over 30% between 2006 and 2010, while injuries decreased
nearly 24%. Although the numbers trended downward every year from 2007 to 2010, it should be noted that
2010 was an especially good year for Fresno County, with numbers coming in substantially lower than would
be predicted by the previous progression. Both deaths and injuries attributed to alcohol-involved collisions
increased from 2010 to 2011. The figures for alcohol-involved fatal collisions and fatalities in 2011 follow the
downward trend experienced from 2007-2009. However, the figures for alcohol-involved injury collisions and
the numbers of persons injured were higher in 2011 than anticipated. Alcohol-involved fatal collisions
decreased from 2012 to 2013, increased from 2013 to 2014, and decreased again in 2015. From 2017 to
2019 alcohol involved fatal crashes in Fresno County has declined 17% and alcohol related fatalities
decreased by 26%. According to data from the U.S. Department of Transportation, from 2015 to 2019 in
Fresno County the average number of alcohol-involved fatalities rose from 29 to 31 per year, an increase of
7%. In 2019 Fresno County was ranked 811' out of the top 10 counties in California for fatalities. SWITRS
reports the average number of injured persons dropped from 592 in 2015 to 494 in 2019, a reduction of
17%.
DUI related collisions afflict Fresno County families -disrupting their lives, interfering with plans, altering
capabilities and all too often, ending relationships in an instant. DUI related casualties also impact Fresno
County's economy-with employers losing man-hours and employees losing work(and paychecks) due to
another person's choice to drive after drinking alcohol or when impaired by drugs. All too often, the person
who made the choice is a repeat offender, causing untold physical, emotional, and economic damage to yet
another victim or victims. While it is evident that grant funded intensive supervision of high-risk, repeat
offenders has been very effective, alcohol-involved fatal and injury collisions continue to pose a grave
problem in our community. Recent data from the Healthy Communities Institute shows for the period of
2015-2019, 27% of all motor vehicle crash deaths were attributed to alcohol involvement in Fresno County.
In a December 23, 2021 article in the Fresno Bee, it was reported for Fresno County that the combined
number of felony DUI vehicular manslaughter cases, felony DUI cases causing injury, and repeat offenders
totaled 247 in 2019, 282 in 2020, and as of the date of the article 274 in 2021_ In the City of Fresno alone,
there were 427 DUI collisions with 56 resulting in serious injury and 14 resulting in death reported in the
Police Department's 2020 annual report.
According to the California Office of Traffic and Safety (OTS) Collision Rankings, Fresno County has
experienced a fluctuation in alcohol involved collisions in relation to miles driven. In 2009, Fresno County
ranked 38 out of 58 counties for alcohol involved Collision based on daily vehicle miles traveled, (The County
ranked number 1 as the highest or"worst" rate of collisions to miles). In 2011, Fresno County's rank
adversely moved to 21 of 58. In 2012, Fresno County's rank improved to 53rd among the 58 counties, but
the methodology was revised during that data collection period. In 2013, Fresno County's rank continued to
improved dropping to 57th among the 58 counties. In 2014, Fresno County's rank increased to 35th among
the 58 counties. In 2015, Fresno County's rank continued to increase to 32nd among the 58 counties. For
the period of 2017- 2019 Fresno County's rankings improved and has remained relatively static, with
rankings of 52nd of 58th, 55th of 58th, and 53rd of 58th, respectively. In 2021 buyautoinsurance.com
released results of a three- ear study of the 10 Worst Cities for Drunk Driving- Fresno was ranked 9th in the
8/18/2022 10:58:13 AM Page 3 of 18
nation with 648 DUI arrests per one hundred thousand residents and an annual average of 1,148 DUI
arrests.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports sobriety checkpoints as a public health intervention,
reduce alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes by nine percent. Data shows that OTS Repeat DUI grant-
funded intensive supervision program has suppressed criminal and unfavorable behavior of Repeat DUI
offenders in Fresno County. Tracking collisions, injuries and fatalities in Fresno County demonstrates
intensive supervision of DUI offenders has averted collisions and prevented victims from being killed and
injured in alcohol involved collisions; however, there is a need to provide intensive supervision of offenders
who sustain convictions for driving under the influence of drugs (DUID). Recently, researchers in traffic
safety have placed great emphasis in detecting, apprehending, and monitoring DUID's.
The 2018 Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SAFETREC) report found that in
2016 alcohol impaired driving and drug involved driving was one of the primary crash factors. Alcohol-
impaired driving collisions comprised 80.1%, placing it as the number one primary cash factor. The rate of
alcohol-involved fatal and severe injuries was significantly higher during nights and weekends with almost
half(48.2%) occurring between 9pm and 3am. While the number of drug-involved fatal and serious injury
collisions varied widely by day of week and time of day, almost 40% of those injuries occurred on Saturdays
and Sundays. This report also supported the reported high rate of drug prevalence found in the California's
2012 Roadside Survey of Alcohol and Drug use by Drivers and the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's (NHTSA) 2013-2014 National roadside Survey of Alcohol and Drug use by Driver findings.
Drug prevalence among nighttime weekend drivers tested resulted in an 8.3% alcohol positivity rate and a
15.2% positivity rate result for cannabis or any illegal drug. In 2019 statewide, 50% of drivers killed in motor
vehicle crashes tested positive for legal and illegal drugs reflecting an increase of 8% from 2018.
In the December 2021 Fresno See article, Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp reports their
office is seeing a significant number of repeat offenders, an almost 100% increase. These are individuals
who have previously been arrested or convicted of DUI and are drinking and driving again. Without funding
from OTS and NHTSA , Fresno County Probation Department's supervision of DUI offenders would be
adversely impacted. Without grant funding, DUI offender recidivism and the number of alcohol and drug
involved traffic collisions, including injuries and fatalities would likely increase, posing a great risk to our
community.
