Victim
Impact Panel
Victim Impact Panels provide
a forum for victims of alcohol related crashes to tell
DUI/DWAI offenders about the impact of drunk driving on
their lives. The panels are a joint venture between the
Criminal Justice System and The Recovery Center.
Panels involve 3-4 victims whose
loved ones have been killed, or those who were injured
themselves, and may also include law enforcement and emergency
medical personnel who continually experience the effects
of alcohol related crashes. The program is
designed for all court referrals that have been mandated
to attend the program.
Dates: Victim Impact
Panels meet on the last Thursday of every other month at 7:00
p.m. at the Justice Building in Cortez. Each panel lasts
approximately one hour.
