The National Center for DWI Courts, in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, offers free 3.5-day foundational trainings for DWI courts.
Foundational training is for DWI courts that are:
Pre-implementation
Programs still in the planning stages
Post-implementation
Recently implemented programs that have not participated in formal training
In Need of a Refresh
Established programs that have experienced significant turnover in staff
Never Formally Trained and Facing Challenges
Established programs that have never participated in formal training
Why should your program participate?
It's free!
As part of the training, teams will observe an operating DWI court that is part of the NCDC Academy Court program.
Operational courts have rated this the best foundational training, whether they were recently implemented or addressing transition.
Our staff and a cadre of nationally renowned treatment court experts and practitioners work with selected teams to implement evidence-based practices, develop policy and procedure manuals, and build team unity.
At the conclusion of the training program, you will have your blueprint for implementation or transition.
