2. Review of Current Intoxicated Driver Intervention Program in Wisconsin-Western
Regional Area
CJCC Substance Abuse Subcommittee members reviewed current Intoxicated Driver
Intervention Programs (IDIP) in Wisconsin-Western Regional Area as well as St. Croix
County OWI data.
CJCC Coordinator Mike O'Keefe informed the group that he spoke with District Attorney
Mike Nieskes and he said he is willing to support the IDIP if there is proof it has value or
makes a difference. O'Keefe shared he believes the focus should be on second time
offenders as this seems to be a time that would have the most impact.
Further discussion on what this might look like in St. Croix County and the funding
involved. Possible need to hire a case manager who would work with the consumers
and do the follow up. This could be a county employee, contracted out or possibly
be within Day Reporting at the jail.
This subcommittee would like more information on this program and there is
consensus it seems worthwhile to look into further.
Mike O'Keefe and Kate Avoles will plan to visit another county and bring back
information about and the impact of the program to this subcommittee or ask if
someone from the program would be willing present at the next meeting. O'Keefe
will also invite District Attorney Mike Nieskes or one of his office staff to attend the
next meeting.
RESULT: DISCUSSED
