Special Program Involvement:
National DWI Demonstration Project
The project was a 1 million dollar impaired driving initiative to reduce alcohol related crash fatalities through enforcement and
innovation. The national project included seven states in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, The
Texas Department of Transportation and several other national law enforcement agencies. The project was developed to institute
innovation into the apprehension and prosecution of the impaired driver. I was responsible for all aspects of the program including
budgets, personnel and correspondence with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration program managers. I was also
responsible for interacting with law enforcement personnel at both the state and local level to identify problem issues with
impaired driving enforcement in reference to booking times, paperwork issues and impaired driving training. A special emphasis
was placed upon developing relationships between law enforcement and judicial officials in reference to training and prosecution
issues. I was also responsible for the development of a “best practices” manual in reference to the initiative that will be used on a
state and national level.
Texas Law Enforcement Liaison Program
I served as the program coordinator for the initial Texas law enforcement liaison program. Program duties included identifying
and solving traffic safety issues throughout the state of Texas. I supervised other law enforcement liaison personnel that were
assigned to strategic locations throughout the state of Texas. The program was funded through a grant from the Texas
Department of Transportation. My responsibilities included but were not limited to all programmatic issues including achieving
grant goals and objectives, proper reporting procedures and scheduling for personnel. My responsibilities also included
conducting presentations both at the state and national levels in reference to law enforcement traffic safety training issues
including providing Occupant Protection and Impaired Driving training to state, local and federal law enforcement agencies.
