What is the Driver Intervention Program?
The Driver Intervention Program (DIP) is an alternative to the mandatory three-day jail term that first-time offenders convicted of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or other drugs may attend at the court's discretion (as prescribed by Sections 1547.99 and 4511.19 of the Ohio Revised Code). Each DIP includes traffic safety, education on alcohol and substance use disorders, and small group discussions.
DIPs are a two- or three-day process of education and screening and may also include a referral for a complete alcohol and other drug assessment.
This program is available to offenders charged within Darke or Preble Counties.
