CE Course Description

Following dramatic declines in impaired driving in the 1980’s and early 1990’s, further progress has been challenging to achieve.  This CE course contains case studies of an Impaired-Driving Leadership Model, as it was implemented in three states - New Mexico, Washington State, and Oklahoma.  Each case study highlights steps in the process that led to the Leadership Model’s implementation, elements of the leadership Model’s structure, key components of its operation, and impacts that were observed following the Leadership Model’s implementation.
