Arizona Criminal Justice Commission
The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission's Oversight Council on Driving Under the Influence Abatement offers grants for Arizona programs that work to reduce driving under the influence of alcohol and other intoxicants. Programs must fall into one of two categories. One provides enforcement, prosecutorial, judicial or alcohol abuse treatment services with the goal of reducing drunk driving in cars and motorized watercraft. Another program features new technology to educate and prevent drunk driving. Seventy percent of allotted funds are distributed to tribal governments or political subdivisions that enforce or prosecute driving under the influence. Funding is distributed in six-month periods. Remaining funds are allotted in one-year grant periods to organizations using new technology to prevent drunk driving. Grant applications are available online twice a year in October and April.
