June 24, 2015
The New Orleans Office of Inspector (OIG) evaluated Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) case management at Traffic Court in Orleans Parish from arrest through prosecution, sentencing, and case closing. The goal of this evaluation was to examine how the New Orleans Police Department, the City Attorney’s Office, and Traffic Court managed DWI cases, and whether arrests, prosecutions, adjudication, and probation of DWI cases were in keeping with state laws, professional standards, and best practices.
