ASSESSMENT OF CHANGES IN DWI ENFORCEMENT/LEVEL. FINAL REPORT
J H Lacey, R K Jones · 1991
The report summarizes a study of the long term experience of six law enforcement agencies with enforcement programs coupled with public information and education (PIE Fort Collins, CO; Wichita, KS; Omaha, NE; Lexington, KY; and Clearwater, FL. In each community, DWI enforcement activity increased greatly with the advent of the specially funded programs. In three states, arrests went down after funding ceased but remained well above pre-program levels. Two sites sought and received additional enforcement funding and were able to maintain a high arrest rate. PI&E efforts tended to cease when funding ran out.
