County Executive

Dear Friends: Monroe County remains fully committed to keeping our roads safe for

travelers and families through aggressive DWI enforcement and prevention. Together, the Monroe County Public Safety Department, Office of Probation,

and STOP-DWI collaborate with the Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies to discourage anyone from driving while intoxicated.

In 2016, local law enforcement agencies made 2,540 arrests due to intoxicated driving and driving under the influence of other substances.

These arrests are a true testament to our community’s commitment to combating DWI. Each and every arrest makes our roadways a little safer.

The pain and anguish that DWI victims suffer can last a lifetime. Through the Monroe County Victims Resource Center, victims are able to seek the

assistance and support they need to help cope with tragedy. Additionally, the County’s STOP-DWI Education Program remains an effective tool in the prevention and education of the harmful impacts caused by driving while

intoxicated.

Despite all of our progress, it is important to always remember that every person with a driver’s license has the opportunity to make this community a safer and better place by choosing not to drink and drive.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Dinolfo

DWI VICTIM IMPACT PANEL (VIP)

The Monroe County DWI Victim Impact Panel (VIP) consists of three or four DWI victims who address an audience of DWI offenders about the impaired driving crashes in which they experienced injury or a loved one was killed. A law enforcement officer may also serve as a panelist alongside the victims. The goal of the Panel is to deliver a message to raise awareness of the ripple effect of impaired driving with the intent to save lives. This does not replace conventional sentencing, but supplements it. The VIP is financially self-sufficient with fees collected which are allocated to the VIP Victim Advocate, Victim Honorarium, Probation, Law Enforcement, equipment, and other supporting expenses. The first DWI Victim Impact Panel was held in Monroe County in January 1992. The Panel is offered as a sentencing tool for all DWAI and DWI offenders and is open to the general public for educational purposes.

OFFICE OF PROBATION – COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS

The Monroe County Office of Probation -- Community Corrections received $126,000.00 from STOP-DWI in 2016 to support services of two DWI Felony units. During 2016, these units supervised on average 870 felony offenders at any given point during the year.

The DWI Felony units are comprised of six Probation Officers who supervise offenders, two Officers who prepare DWI Pre-Sentence Investigations and two Senior Probation Officers who supervise offenders and have additional DWI related duties. Probation Officers assigned to these units maintain specialized caseloads in order to provide enhanced supervision. Officers in these units routinely surveil probationers to ensure that they are not driving without a valid license and/or without an ignition interlock device installed. Additionally, these Officers conduct unscheduled field visits and establish more frequent contact with Probationers and their family members. Officers closely monitor a probationer’s progress in treatment which is coupled with routine testing for the use of drugs or alcohol. On a quarterly basis, Officers check DMV records of DWI offenders to ensure they have not registered new vehicles without installing an ignition interlock device. Of the two Senior Officers assigned to these units, one is responsible for organizing DWI Surveillance details and maintaining statistics related to these details. Additionally, this Officer also records information related to the results of routine home visits such as the number of individuals who produce positive alcohol readings and the number of probationers who are found operating a motor vehicle without a valid driver’s license and/or without an Ignition Interlock installed. In 2016, DWI Officers conducted 1,558 home visits and established contact with probationers on 843 of those visits. On 52 occasions, probationers had positive blood alcohol contents. Officers also received collateral information about the probationer during 711 visits. The second Senior Probation Officer is the assigned Ignition Interlock monitor for Probation. On a daily basis, this Officer is required to review emails from Ignition Interlock providers and ensure that the assigned supervision officer receives information related to negative events such as a high blood alcohol reading during an Ignition Interlock test, reports related to circumventions and tampers and reports related to missed test prompts. This Officer assists in the preparation of quarterly reports for the State of New York regarding the number of offenders who are required to install the Ignition Interlock Device. Additionally, the Ignition Interlock Monitor Officer also provides assistance to Stop DWI in the coordination of routine Victim Impact Panels. The Officer helps in securing the location used for the panels and the dates that the panels will be held. At the end of the year, the Officer provides information needed for financial reimbursement to Stop DWI. The Officer solicits and selects volunteers to work at the Victim Impact Panel. Volunteers provide assistance at the registration tables and collect payments for the panel. Volunteers also have offenders submit to alco-sensor tests prior to being admitted. Additionally, we staff, when able, two License Plate Reader cars which are stationed outside the Victim Impact Panel site to monitor for offenders who drive to the panel without having a valid license to do so. This Officer’s salary is 50% funded by Stop DWI.

13

Overall, the Office of Probation supervised a total of 2,038 DWI offenders during 2016 which included 1167 misdemeanor DWI offenders. Furthermore, our Office supervised 14 Vehicular Assault offenders, 2 Vehicular Manslaughter offenders, 3 offenders convicted of leaving the scene of an accident in which an injury resulted in death, and 109 Aggravated Unlicensed Operator offenders. As of March 21, 2017, this Office monitored a total of 599 offenders that were using Ignition Interlock Devices (203 probationers and 396 conditional discharge offenders).

In 2016 the Office of Probation collected a total of $ 410,764 in DWI fines.

Surveillance

Probation Officers frequently conduct surveillance on DWI offenders to ensure compliance with the conditions of probation. DWI Surveillance Details are assembled to target offenders deemed at risk for repeated offenses. The Details were conducted with the goal of enforcing conditions of probation prohibiting unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle and the consumption of alcohol. In 2016, 10 DWI Details conducted surveillance on 218 offenders. During these Details, 12 offenders were found to be in violation of their order and conditions of probation, one was charged with Aggravated Unlicensed Operator 1st. During office visits, Probation Officers conduct walking surveillances of probationers to see if they have driven to the building. Probationers are monitored at their homes, jobs, and other locations in the community during the day and night, weekdays and weekends.

Random Alco-sensor tests are routinely conducted during office and home visits on all probationers but especially those deemed to be a risk for potential alcohol abuse. Alco-sensor tests enable officers to confirm the absence or presence of alcohol and, if appropriate, to quickly intervene through either a Violation of Probation and/or suitable treatment alternatives. Urine-screen tests are also conducted in the office to detect the use of alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, and morphine-based drugs. Early detection and expedient intervention further protects the community and enhances public safety.

The Office of Probation and Community Corrections is committed to continuing surveillance of high-risk probationers convicted of DWI offenses. The Office remains highly motivated to pursue the mission of ensuring public safety through vigorous supervision of sentenced offenders, particularly those sentenced to probation for DWI offenses.

PRE-TRIAL SERVICES CORPORATION PRE-TRIAL FELONY DWI DIVERSION

Felony DWI Diversion is a deferred prosecution program whereby all criminal proceedings are delayed while the client engages in a planned treatment program. The client is monitored in the treatment program over a six- to eight-month period. Participation is voluntary and clients must agree to immediately surrender their driver's license upon entering the program and pay a program fee, if financially able. Clients are screened through the District Attorney's DWI Bureau before referral to the Diversion program. Successful completion of Felony DWI Diversion is based on the client's ability to demonstrate significant attitudinal and behavioral change, and results in an offer to plead to a misdemeanor in satisfaction of the felony charge. If the client fails to follow through on the treatment plan and the Diversion contract requirements, the case is returned to court for prosecution. Diversion is offered only once. Pre-Trial Felony DWI Diversion received $58,140 in STOP-DWI funds in 2016. One hundred-twenty four cases were seen for intake in 2016. 78 cases or 77% of all terminations were closed successfully in the year. Pre-Trial Services is committed to providing effective intervention with multiple DWI offenders and will continue to measure the long-term outcomes for the Felony DWI Diversion Program.
