• Finally, we need even more training for officers on proper handling of DUI arrests as officer error on these very complicated cases can ensure there will not be a conviction. Steps to improve motivation to do excellent work in this area are also needed.
Addressing the DUI problem in South Carolina requires a multifaceted approach that combines legislative action, collaboration between prosecutors and law enforcement, more available trainings for law enforcement, prevention initiatives, and judges who own their responsibility. By addressing the underlying factors contributing to impaired driving and implementing evidence-based strategies, South Carolina can reduce the incidence of DUI incidents, improve road safety, and protect the well-being of its residents. Continued efforts and collaboration across sectors are essential to achieving lasting reductions in DUI-related incidents and creating safer communities for all. At MADD SC, we strive for no more broken lives and a future of no more victims.
