PAGE 1
When the Preventing Repeat Impaired Driving Effectively (PRIDE) 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 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. 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. However the figures for alcohol involved fatal
collisions and fatalities in 2011 follow the downward trend experienced from 2007-2009. The figures for
alcohol involved injury collisions and the number of persons injured were higher in 2011 than anticipated.
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. The average number of fatalities
has dropped from 66 to 55 per year, a reduction of 17%, while the average number of injured persons
dropped from 858 to 696 per year, a reduction of 19%. Statewide, the average number of alcohol involved
fatalities for those same periods dropped 9% while the average number of injuries from alcohol involved
collisions dropped 10%
It is evident that grant funded intensive supervision of high risk, repeat DUI offenders has been very effective
but recent trends show that alcohol involved fatal and injury collisions continue to pose a grave problem in
our community. 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 on drugs. All too
often, the person who made that choice is a repeat offender, causing untold physical, emotional, and
economic damage to yet another victim or victims!
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Collision Rankings, Fresno County is
experiencing an increase in alcohol involved collisions based on daily vehicle miles traveled. (The County
ranked number 1 has the highest or "worst" rate of collisions to miles.) In 2011, Fresno County's rank
adversely increased to 21st among the 58 counties.
Tracking collisions, injuries, and fatalities in Fresno County demonstrates that 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 DUIDs.
A statewide survey on alcohol and drug use of California night time weekend drivers found that: "In terms of
breath and oral fluid test results, 14% tested positive for at least one drug and 7 .3% tested positive for
alcohol. One percent of tested drivers were at .08 blood alcohol content (BAC) or above"
The survey results further revealed that over half of the drivers who tested positive for "at least one drug"
tested positive for marijuana. Nearly 90% of drug positive drivers tested negative for alcohol. Based on this
information, it is likely that many DUI collisions involve drivers impaired by drug use. Statewide, drug
involved crash injuries increased 9% over the past decade; while drug involved crash fatalities increased
39%.
The FCPD conducted a random sample of DUI offenders under active supervision to evaluate the need to
establish an intensive DUID caseload. Thirty case files from each of the following caseloads were examined:
• DUI involving alcohol (non intensive)
• DUID-DUI involving drugs (non intensive), and
• Repeat DUI-High-risk , repeat DUI Intensive Supervision (OTS Grant funded)
For each of these groups, we reviewed entries for the period of 10/1/2012 through 9/30/2013 and tabulated
the activities reflective of Repeat DUI grant objectives:
• Office contacts made
• Probationers tested for alcohol/drug use
• Positive test results, and
• Court actions initiated for violatable acts
Our random sample revealed that in the first group, "DUI involving alcohol (non intensive)" only 10 of the 30
offenders were seen in the office during 2012-13. Two offenders were tested for alcohol/drug use, with
negative results. None of the cases had court actions for violatable acts.
Comparison of the DUID and the Repeat DUI caseloads was very interesting. Repeat DUI (OTS grant funded)
intensive caseload offenders had 210% more office contacts made than the DUID caseload. Nearly twice as
many Repeat DUI offenders were tested for alcohol/drug use, but DUID caseload offenders were less likely to
receive official consequences. Court actions initiated for violatable acts were 20% greater in the Repeat DUI
caseload than the DUID caseload.
These results indicate that offenders on the DUID caseload are in need of intensive supervision. By including
DUID offenders in our intensive caseloads, the FCPD can more effectively supervise these probationers and it
is anticipated that drug involved collisions, fatalities, and injuries would decrease in Fresno County.

Drug use is a formidable problem for Fresno County probationers---and a barrier to successful completion of
Probation. Over the last year, the FCPD has been using state of the art saliva drug screening kits that test the 6
most common drugs used by offenders. The kits provide immediate results, so officers are able to quickly test
offenders in the office or out in the field. The use of these kits has significantly increased our effectiveness in
providing intensive supervision of DUI offenders.
It is evident that OTS Repeat DUI grant funded intensive supervision has suppressed criminal and unfavorable
behavior of Repeat DUI offenders in Fresno County. Without funding from OTS and the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, FCPD's supervision of Dill offenders would be adversely impacted. Without
grant funding, DUI offender recidivism and the number of alcohol & drug involved traffic collisions, including
injuries and fatalities would likely increase, posing a great risk to our community.
