Impaired Driving Guidebook: Three Keys to Renewed Focus and Success

In 2005, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Highway Safety Committee established the Impaired Driving Subcommittee (IDSC) to work with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to determine how to substantially reduce impaired driving in the United States and Canada, and the associated traffic fatalities and injuries caused by impaired driving. The IDSC decided on two deliverables. The first is this Guidebook that is intended to serve as a guide to law enforcement executives on how to most effectively renew their efforts to eliminate impaired driving. The second deliverable is an IACP Resolution. The Resolution, presented as Appendix A in this Guidebook, was approved by the Highway Safety Committee at its mid-year meeting in June 2006. The IDSC came to agreement that success lies in three key areas, and this Guidebook has a section dedicated to each: Law Enforcement Leadership; Criminal Justice Collaboration; and Effective Communication Strategies.
