WISCONSIN SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Wisconsin has a complex set of state level DWI laws that include increased penalties and withdrawal periods based on prior offenses and alcohol concentration. Wisconsin uses a range of administrative and judicial sanctions (withdrawals, special restricted license, immobilization, seizures) in responding to DWI offenses plus a variety of treatment and education methods, beginning with a mandatory alcohol/drug assessment.
The Model tracks individual drivers from arrest and alcohol/drug testing, through the administrative and judicial processes, through compliance or non-compliance with sanctions, and provides individual records to stakeholders or statistical reports for decision-making and planning.
- TraCS e-citation integrated with e-crash form and alcohol/drug forms to create a Wisconsin
suite of law enforcement forms.
- Integrated alcohol/drug arrest system that produces chemical test permits and maintains
permitholder data; stores chemical test details; triggers administrative suspension
and/or orders to assessment (pre-conviction) for specific scenarios; provides
for administrative suspension data online for hearings anywhere in the state;
stores results and provides reports on administrative suspension/hearing process. (This
integrated system receives data electronically each day through automated polling
of the Intoxinet sites – breath test sites – and through data transfer via the
state’s Enterprise Service Bus from the state lab analyzing blood samples.)
- Recordkeeping software for alcohol/drug assessment agencies that provides accurate and timely
online reporting to the DMV via the state’s Enterprise Service Bus.
- Web application for technical colleges to create, maintain, and transmit data on students enrolled in alcohol/drug education courses as a result of an arrest or conviction.
- Interface between Circuit Court Automation system and the statewide District Attorney
IT Project for transfer of citation data.
- Web application for smaller municipal courts (with limited resources) to key conviction
data, court orders, and conviction status reports (changes) and for larger municipal courts to transmit files of the same data to DMV.
