NC 2019-2020 Report Final

3

INTRODUCTION

MADD’s Court Monitoring Program was created to ensure that impaired driving offenders are

prosecuted by having court monitors observe and document what happens during impaired driving

case proceedings.

The goals of MADD’s Court Monitoring Program are to enhance transparency, accountability and to

promote appropriate sentencing within the criminal justice system for drunk driving cases.

This is accomplished by:

• Compiling information on the handling of DWI cases in our court system.

• Promoting public interest and awareness of the outcomes of criminal cases in the justice system • To report the relevant information collected and publicizing the findings through an annual report released by MADD National as well as local reports.
