Operational Tune-up Training
The National Center for DWI Courts' (NCDC) two-day operational tune-up training is designed for DWI or hybrid drug/DWI court teams that have already taken the NCDC DWI Court Foundational Training. This tune-up training teaches advanced practices to enhance your court program built on the 10 Guiding Principles for DWI Courts and National Association of Drug Court Professionals' best practice standards. Your team will benefit from one-on-one interaction with our experts while developing an action plan to maximize your resources and integrate best practices into your DWI court program.
2022 Operational Tune-up Training will be delivered locally September 8-9, 2022, and NCDC experts will travel to your jurisdiction!
To participate in operational tune-up training, each interested jurisdiction must complete the application and submit it, along with a letter of commitment from the presiding judge, for consideration and approval by the Administrative Office of the Court or State Highway Safety Office for funding by Friday, June 3, 2022.
