ARIZONA GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY
STATEWIDE IMPAIRED DRIVING PLAN
JULY 1, 2014
INTRODUCTION
The three leading causes of death from vehicular crashes in Arizona are, in order of causation: 1.
Speeding and aggressive driving; 2. Impaired driving; and 3. Failure to use restraint devices. The
Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Statewide Impaired Driving Task Force continues to seek
additional reductions in the areas of impaired driving crashes, injuries and fatalities on Arizona’s
roadways. As a state-wide plan for reducing impaired driving, GOHS will continue providing assistance
to the State, County, and local officials by:






Providing a forum for research, discussion, and planning to reduce the incidence of
impaired driving in Arizona;
Increasing public awareness and understanding of impaired driving, and impacting
the effectiveness of current laws, programs, and enforcement;
Seeking out and instituting enforcement programs, innovative ideas, and emergent
technologies to educate, prevent and deter occurrences of impaired driving; and
Proposing traffic safety policy recommendations and serving as Arizona’s primary
source of information on impaired driving and its affect on public safety.

BACKGROUND
Chaired by the Director of the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, the Task Force drew
membership from around the State that included agencies and organizations committed to the
enforcement, prosecution, adjudication and education about impaired driving.
Objectives of the Task Force will be clearly defined by all members. All policies and programs
adopted or supported will be data driven and approved by Task Force stakeholders.
The Task Force had a meeting on Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Long-term in nature, the Task
Force meets regularly with a schedule established by the Director. To increase effectiveness and
maintain member involvement, sub-committees were established and the use of press releases or
media announcements were utilized. Recent high-profile or tragic impaired driving collisions
will be emphasized in order to inform the public and keep them engaged with the mission.
Lastly, a scribe will track meeting minutes, set time-frames for strategic initiatives or goals, and
make information available to the public on the website. The Director or designee will determine
eligible spokespersons.
Anticipated Successes:
1) Stronger and more efficient communication between agencies and stakeholders
2) Creation of better record-keeping systems
3) Positive changes in impaired-driving enforcement countermeasures
4) Influence on impaired-driving consequences that are data-driven
5) More systematic/standardized approach, adopted at the State and local level
6) Provide a safe place for members to address potentially controversial issues
7) Become aware of unintended consequences of strategies before change is adopted

Explanation of the Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatality Goal-Setting Process
Based on the trend data shown above, GOHS has set the 2015 alcohol-impaired driving fatality
goal at 238. This is 9 percent less than the 262 fatalities experienced in 2012. Through continued
emphasis on enforcement and education, the GOHS believes the goal of reducing alcoholimpaired fatalities to 238 by 2015 is appropriate and achievable.
Drivers and pedestrians impaired by alcohol and both legal and illegal drugs continue to be a
challenge in Arizona. Following the succession of a five-year decrease in alcohol-impaired
driving fatalities from 399 in 2006 to 215 in 2011, 2012 saw an increase to 227 alcohol-impaired
driving fatalities. ADOT data shows a drop in alcohol-impaired driving fatalities from 281 in
2012 to 262 in 2013. Reducing the number of impaired driver related fatalities and injuries
occurring on roadways in the State remains a top safety focus area for Arizona. Research shows
sustained, long-term, highly visible enforcement coupled with effective education programs
reduces impaired driving crashes and fatalities.
GOHS has set the 2015 alcohol-impaired driving fatality goal at 238, which represents a 9
percent decrease from 2013. Arizona has some of the toughest impaired driving laws in the
nation and is nationally recognized as having the best trained officers in the detection of alcohol4

and drug-impaired drivers. In 2013, over 31,000 DUI arrests were made, including over 4,500
related to drugged driving. This dramatic increase to 4,500 from just 700 such drugged-driving
arrests in 2008 is a direct result of a state-wide expansion of the DRE and ARIDE training
funded by grants through GOHS. The state has a cadre of superbly trained officers in alcoholand drug-impaired driver detection. Additionally, Arizona provides training to law enforcement
officials from other states and countries as well. Through FFY 2013, GOHS funded 75 DRE
certification nights hosted by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement officials
from 13 other states. Arizona expects an increase in DRE certification night activity throughout
the FFY 2014 and into FFY 2015 due to requests from Canadian DRE candidates to train at the
Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office DRE certification nights.
IMPAIRED DRIVING STRATEGIES
Deterrence
The Task Force will make data-driven recommendations to various levels of State and local
organizations, both public and private. With the understanding that success can only be
achieved through collaborative efforts between government and business, our primary
strategic initiatives will focus on education, prevention, awareness, and enforcement. While
not all-inclusive, the following list of initiatives will be the basis of progressive influence on
policies and programs that combat impaired driving:
1) Identify specific impaired-driving problems in the State

b) Identify regions of high recidivism or repeat offender rates
c) Identify regions with high BAC or Extreme DUI offenders
d) Identify courts/regions with lower than State average conviction rates

years as the premier tool for identifying drivers suspected of driving under the
influence of drugs. The DRE Program was developed by the Los Angeles Police
Department and has now evolved to all 50 states, the District of Columbia and a
number of international countries. The presenters for the session will do a lookback into the history and devlopment of the program describing it’s roots, some

Sciences, Oklahoma State University Center for Health; Dr. Barry Logan, NMS
Labs, Willow Grove, PA., and Dr. Timothy Rohrig, Chief Toxicologist and
Director of Forensic Sciences at Sedgwick County, Wichita, KS (All Confirmed)
The use of oral fluid as a matrix for the detection of drugs in drivers has been
gaining interest and acceptance in the last few years. While law enforcement
agencies in several countries have implemented saliva collection and analysis,
the communities in the USA are gradually conducting field studies in various
driving populations. This session will provide data to support the use of oral fluid
as a biological sample for detecting drugs in drivers; provide results from
research projects throughout the USA; and present guidance and protocols for the
performance of field studies using oral fluid. The presenters are predominantly
members of the newly established Oral Fluid Subgroup of the SOFT/AAFS
DUID Committee, which is charged with providing information and guidance to
the forensic community on this issue.

Opiates: Effects on Human Behavior and Performance
Jennifer Harmon, Assistant Director, Orange County Coroner’s Department, Santa Ana,
CA (Confirmed)
Opioids are one of the most widely prescribed and abused drug classifications. The
presentation will cover the history of opioids, both illicit and prescription, as well as
current use patterns. There will be discussion about how opioids are prescribed and for
what therapy as well as the effects of the drugs on the brain and central nervous system.
Much of the presentation will focus on common defenses encountered in driving under
the influence (DUI) and intoxication cases and investigations. Defenses to be discussed
included involuntary intoxication, chronic pain, tolerance and maintenance, polypharmacy and withdrawal. The defenses will be highlighted by actual cases encountered
by the Orange County Crime Laboratory’s Toxicology Section (Santa Ana, California).
Finally, scientific literature references and conclusions will be provided to help aid the
attendee’s own review and opinion development; do opioids effect human behavior and
performance?
