This project supports the long-range goal to reduce the number of alcohol related traffic fatalities in Tennessee. This project will aid in this reduction by increasing convictions and severity of sentences while also reducing the rate of dismissals of cases. This will reduce DUI recidivism and help the public see that our judicial system takes the crime of DUI very seriously. Fewer incidences of DUI will lead to a reduction in the number of alcohol related fatalities.
The Court Monitor is responsible for attending DUI misdemeanor court cases and collecting information that can be used to recommend constructive improvements to our judicial system.
ESSENTIAL POSITION FUNCTIONS:- Attend Court Monitor trainings.
- Attend DUI misdemeanor court cases.
- Become familiar with court room procedure.
- Collect information on DUI misdemeanor and felony cases and submit paperwork to the state coordinator.
