About the Program

The Rock County OWI Court's mission is to improve public safety by producing sober drivers. The Court incorporates research driven principles and accountability to save money, lives, and create a better community. It is a voluntary, post-adjudication specialty court created to reduce recidivism by allowing OWI 3rd and 4th Offense defendants to participate in sub-stance abuse treatment under judicial and community supervision.

It is a five-phase program consisting of intensive supervision of defendants by a case manager and probation officer, frequent appearances before the OWI Court judge, individualized drug/alcohol treatment (substance use disorder-SUD), other treatment/ counseling as necessary, random drug testing, home visits, and support group attendance. Participants are required to be on electronic monitoring/SCRAM through Probation. SUD treatment and case management are provided by the Rock County Human Services Department, Treatment Court Services. Monitoring and linking to collateral services will continue through-out all phases of the program. OWI Court will also work in concert with the Intoxicated Driver Program in an effort to secure participants' licenses.
