Felony DUI program in Carson City receives $30K Nevada Dept. of Public Safety grant
CARSON CITY — The First Judicial Court Felony DUI Program has received $30,000 in grant funding for the 2019-2020 fiscal year from Nevada Department of Public Safety’s Office of Traffic Safety.
The DUI Court program operates out of the Carson City Department of Alternative Sentencing and provides an alternative to prison for felony DUI defendants.
The three to five year program has had over 60 graduates in its 11-year history and is proud to contribute to the safety of Nevada highways and roads.
The innovative DUI Court program goes beyond traditional discipline and deals with felony repeat drunk driving offenders by providing long term, ongoing accountability and rehabilitation, in addition to a conviction.
The DUI Court program is looking forward to continuing its support of the missions of the Carson City Department of Alternative Sentencing and the Nevada Department of Public Safety’s Office of Traffic Safety; to promote public safety by holding criminal offenders accountable to the community and by providing an environment for rehabilitation.
