Help get DUI repeat offenders off the road
The Jurupa Valley Police Department has teamed up with The California Department of Motor Vehicles to keep Habitual DUI Offenders off our roadways. In November 2014, the Jurupa Valley Police Department started working together with DMV by taking part in their “Hot Sheet” pilot program. Driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs is a major source of mortality and morbidity in California. For example, while fatalities have declined markedly in recent years, still, in California, research indicates that 52% of all traffic fatalities in 2010 involved alcohol and/or drugs. Research also indicates that long-term recidivism rates for DUI offenders increase as the number of prior offenses: over 16 years the proportion of 3rd time offenders who were arrested again for DUI was 42%, versus 35% of 2nd time offenders and 28% of 1st time offenders.
License suspension is one of the most effective interventions states can use to reduce repeat offenses among drivers convicted of DUI. In California administrative license suspension is estimated to reduce recidivism by 21% for 1st offenders and 19% for repeat offenders. Even with the suspensions, it is estimated that up to 75% of suspended and revoked drivers continue to drive and these drivers pose a significant traffic safety risk almost four times higher than the average California driver. “Through the “Hot Sheet” program, the DMV is helping us better identify the repeat offenders”, said Sgt. Bill Davis. “With this information our officers are better informed and we are able to provide our officers with an updated report two times a month. Impaired driving remains a serious traffic safety matter in Jurupa Valley and we as an agency are committed to doing our part to make our roadways safer for all who travel them.” Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Traffic Safety Administration.
Suspects with Outstanding DUI Warrants
Caught in San Jacinto Police Department Sweep
San Jacinto, CA – Some think if they just don’t show up for a court hearing, the police won’t have the manpower to come find them. If your violation is a DUI, don’t count on it. San Jacinto Police Department Officers with dozens of outstanding arrest warrants fanned out into neighborhoods in search of high risk DUI offenders today. Officers served warrants and arrested 8 offenders who either failed to show up for a court date or violated terms of their probation in an outstanding DUI case.
“The best bet for anyone with a missed DUI court date is to go to court on their own now,” said Sergeant Robert Himmelberg “If you don’t, that warrant isn’t going away. We’re going to come find you and take you to jail.” Those caught often face additional jail time for failing to appear in court or for violating probation.
Special DUI Warrant Service Operations along with regularly scheduled ‘High Visibility’ DUI enforcement has a deterrent effect on those who disregard driving safely and abuse alcohol and drugs. The San Jacinto Police Department places a high priority on lowering deaths and injuries with the goal of removing impaired drivers and heightening awareness of the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Funding for the operation is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Report Drunk Drivers; Call 9-1-1!
