The Oswego County STOP-DWI Program actively provides public information and education at various community events and schools across the county. Our activities include use of Fatal Vision impairment goggles with activity mats and pedal karts on serpentine cone courses. STOP-DWI collaborates with other county agencies such as the Prevention Coalition, Traffic Safety Board and Probation Department.
STOP-DWI also teams up with the Probation Department to provide Victim Impact Panels. The Panels are held bimonthly and incorporate an educational component along with presentations by Victim Impact Panelists.
Since the spring of 2006, STOP-DWI and area public safety agencies have supported local S.A.D.D. Chapters with presenting “Mock DWI” crash scenarios at local high schools. The presentation as developed not only contains the “crash” but includes rescue, police investigation, death notification, defendant arraignment and lastly the funeral itself. School districts generally present the “Mock” crashes biennially to junior and senior-year students before the prom.
New York’s STOP-DWI program is the Nations’ first and, to date, only self-sustaining impaired driving program. Other States have implemented components of self-sufficiency, but none to the degree of New York State.
