The DWI Victim Impact Panel Program is an awareness program for those convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Attendance at the VIP is mandatory as a condition of probation or as part of a conditional discharge sentence for DWI offenders.
The panels consist of a non-confrontational presentation consisting of crime victims telling their own personal stories of how impaired drivers forever changed their lives. The panel presents a unique perspective to the offender that is often overlooked or simply cannot be taught by the courts and the DWI offender schools.
There is a fee of $100 for those directed to be there by courts or Probation. See main page describing the victim impact panels.
