The Honorable J. Michael Kavanaugh
Metro Court DWI/Drug Court Program
Thursday, December 13, 2001, 4:00 – 5:30 PM

Each year in Bernalillo County, NM, more than 5,000 motorists are arrested for impaired driving. 42% of fatal motor vehicle crashes statewide are alcohol-related. Motorists driving under the influence of illegal drugs also constitute a significant problem in NM. In fact, of 950 blood samples from DWI suspects tested by the County’s Scientific Laboratory Division in 1997, more than half tested positive for drugs as well as alcohol.

To help reduce recidivism among adult DWI/Drug offenders in Bernalillo County, the Bernalillo County Metro Court developed the DWI/Drug Court Program. The Honorable J. Michael Kavanaugh will talk about this Program that uses a multi-faceted approach to target a hard-to-reach/at risk population.

Please join us at The Behavioral Health Research Center of the Southwest.
