Monroe County Driving Under the Influence (DUTI) Program

The Monroe County DWI weekend program, previously known as "Day Reporting Center" or "DRC/DWI Weekends" has been replaced by the DUTI Program

The program description of your responsibilities is as follows:

ATTENDANCE:

• On your first day, you must report to the Center for Diversionary Services at 2:30 p.m. After your first class you must report on Tuesdays from 3:00 pm-7:00 pm and Wednesdays from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm. You will not be permitted to leave the facility during these hours. You are expected to be on time. Absences and tardiness are reported to the Court.

• If an emergency arises and you cannot report to the Center, you must immediately telephone Security at 454-7350 ext. 3062. In the case of illness, you must seek medical attention and written proof must be provided.
• You must sign the attendance log each time you enter the program. The sign in log is located at the security desk.
• Drug and/or alcohol testing is required. Breathalyzers will be conducted daily; urine screens will be conducted weekly. Failure to submit to testing within 2 hours of being requested or tampering with a sample shall be considered a positive. The Court is also notified of any positive breathalyzer or urine screen.

PROGRAM FEE STRUCTURE:

If you don't successfully complete the DUTI Program, you will be called back to court and resentenced by the judge. For a misdemeanor DWI case, that could mean up to a year in jail, three years of probation, or a combination of both.
