Drivers under the influence of intoxicants are the largest offender population monitored by Jackson County Community Justice. Every person allowed a first offense diversion and all convicted offenders are required by law to attend an alcohol/drug treatment program. It is the task of this department to evaluate individual needs and refer offenders to appropriate treatment. It is also the task of the department to monitor compliance and initiate enforcement through the Court when an offender does not follow through with his/her court ordered obligations.

Our office works closely with the Jackson County Circuit Court and District Attorney's Office to ensure efficiency and appropriate consideration on all cases. Our goal is to protect the community from those that drive under the influence of intoxicants and minimize the chances of repeat behavior through referral to treatment and counseling.

***There are approximately 2800 DUII cases being monitored on a regular basis.

Offenders reporting to Community Justice for DUII supervision are required to complete an alcohol and drug evaluation by an Alcohol and Drug Evaluation Specialist (ADES). This evaluation can be scheduled and completed at the Community Justice Office.

All offenders who have been allowed a Diversion for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants in Jackson County, Oregon require an ignition interlock device (IID) be installed and used in any vehicle operated by the offender.
