Overtime Impaired driving enforcement patrols must be planned and coordinated by the regional traffic safety taskforce, including the TZM and LEL. The DUI patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic safety benefit can be realized as determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Except when prior approval is provided, impaired driving HVE must begin after 8:00 p.m and will occur Thursday-Sunday. The WTSC requires that impaired driving HVE patrols are done using multijurisdictional collaboration. The priority for this funding is participation in the national campaigns: • Holiday DUI Patrols—December 11 —January 2 • Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over—August 19—September 7 The DUI patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic safety benefit can be realized as determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Except when prior approval is provided, impaired driving HVE must begin after 8:00 p.m. and will occur Thursday-Sunday. Funding in this category can be expended outside of the campaign periods. However, the funds must only be used for impaired driving enforcement and during another national impaired driving enforcement campaign or other large local event. Participation during Holiday DUI Patrols and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over should be prioritized when scheduling enforcement dates. The WTSC encourages law enforcement agencies to use this funding to support the professional growth of officers with limited exposure to impaired driving enforcement.

Requirements for this use of funds include the following: • WTSC approval for impaired driving mentorship is done through the HVE Mobilization Plan. Approval for mentorship must be received prior to the activity date. • The training officer must be a Drug Recognition Expert or ARIDE trained. TZMs can submit a request for an officer who doesn't meet these requirements to be a mentor. This request must be detailed on the HVE Mobilization Plan. • There must be a review of the SFST procedure prior to the enforcement activity. • There is a limit of two times per year that an officer can be a mentee. • Funds permitting, mentees will participate in at least 1 impaired driving mobilization after completing mentoring. • Each region or county-level task force can set additional requirements for participation in this use of funding. • To be eligible for this activity,the task force must have a policy for DUI Mentoring. • Funding will pay for overtime for the mentor officer and the mentee officer. • Mentees should demonstrate their ability to make one DUI arrest per shift following their mentoring. This funding can be used to conduct premise checks in bars and other establishments that sell alcohol. To be used for this purpose, the activity must meet the following requirements:
