The California Office of Traffic Safety has awarded another grant to a local law enforcement agency. The Sonoma County Probation Department has received $212-thousand dollars for an intensive probation supervision program for high-risk DUI offenders with multiple DUI convictions. It will help make sure probationers are following court-ordered terms of their probation and prevent them from re-offending. That also includes warrant operations targeting probation violations and/or DUI suspects who do not appear in court. It will also fund alcohol testing, officer training in Standard Field Sobriety Testing, distribution of DUI “Be On the Lookout” alerts, and collaborating with courts and prosecutors to establish probation orders.
