PURPOSE

This Program is designed to improve the ability of the state's prosecutors to effectively prosecute traffic safety violations, particularly focused on the following crimes:

Vehicular homicide
Vehicle crashes involving personal injuries
Operating while intoxicated or while impaired by alcohol or a controlled substance
Operating on a suspended or revoked license

Additionally, part of the training program is to provide consistent, up to date reference materials to assist prosecutors in prosecuting traffic safety cases. The Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor updates the OWI manual, and makes changes concurrent with legislative and case law changes. He also provides a quarterly newsletter, legal memoranda, and other reference materials to keep prosecutors current on the latest developments in traffic safety law.

Finally, the Program will improve the coordination of the prosecution of traffic safety cases between law enforcement, prosecutors, OHSP, the Secretary of State, the Judiciary and other traffic safety organizations.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the program are:

To provide continuing professional education opportunities for all new assistant prosecutors to improve their ability to effectively prosecute traffic safety violations
To provide continuing professional education opportunities for experienced prosecuting attorneys to improve their ability to effectively prosecute more complex traffic safety violations, such as vehicular homicide or felony drunk driving
To provide quality, up to date legal reference materials to assist prosecutors and other traffic safety professionals to more effectively prosecute traffic safety cases
To provide a dedicated liaison between the state's prosecutors and the traffic safety community to work for better coordination in the prosecution of traffic safety violations
