Victim Services are still being provided remotely to anyone affected by drunk or drugged driving. We've served 137 victims during the pandemic. COVID-19 has greatly impacted the Courts and their proceedings. We are here to help navigate the new regulations, schedules, and methods of appearing during hearings or trials.

In-person Victim Impact Panels have not been able to occur since March 13th due to restrictions on public gatherings. We have an online VIP which still delivers powerful education and utilizes several safeguards that ensure compliance. 431 people have taken the Online VIP since March. Online VIP information can be found at www.online.maddvip.org

Court Monitors are still monitoring misdemeanor DWI cases in six counties. Monitoring has shifted to telephonic appearances and is dependent on each court's procedures as they adapt to COVID-19 regulations and restrictions.The team has monitored 1,150 cases during the pandemic.
