9 PROGRAM STRENGTHS IID PROGRAM PROCESS CHECKS AND BALANCES WE ARE A SMALL STATE WITH A SMALL OPERATION WHICH ALLOWS FOR CLOSE OVER SITE OF PROGRAM NO LICENSE REINSTATEMENT IF ALL IID REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT MET IID LICENSE (EASY TO DISTINGUISH) ONLY IID VIOLATIONS REPORTED FROM DATA DOWNLOADS SENT TO DMV FOR ENFORCING IID PROGRAM EXTENSION DELAWARE IS SMALL ENOUGH THAT DMV, COURTS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, ATTORNEYS, LEGISLATORS, HIGHWAY SAFETY STAFF, PROBATION PAROLE, ETC., ALL HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO EACH OTHER IID PRESENCE IN EACH COUNTY
10 PROGRAM CHALLENGES NO REAL WAY TO ENFORCE/MONITOR THE IID REQUIREMENT ENROLLMENT FOR OUT-OF-STATE OFFENDERS NEW LEGISLATION IMPACTS MANY ASPECTS OF DELAWARE S DUI PROCESSES AND PROGRAMS (E.G., THE IID LICENSE MAY BE DENIED BUT THE IID IS STILL MANDATORY OR WHEN OFFENDER HAS VEHICLE REGISTERED IN DE BUT HAS A MD LICENSE) DELAWARE DOES NOT HAVE STREAMLINED DUI LAWS (CHEAT SHEET) LOOKING FOR WAYS TO BETTER REACH CUSTOMERS PUBLIC PERCEPTION ABOUT HOW TO STOP SOMEONE FROM DRIVING IMPAIRED, ESPECIALLY FOR MULTIPLE DUI OFFENSES DMV IS NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT
11 FUTURE PROGRAM GOALS ABILITY TO REVIEW ENROLLEE REPORTS FROM PROVIDERS IN A REAL TIME SCENARIO RECIPROCITY WITH SURROUNDING STATES TO ALERT WHEN CURRENT IID HOLDERS ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT THE SYSTEM BY TRANSFERRING LICENSE STATUS WHILE WE DO HAVE VENDOR LOCATIONS IN EACH COUNTY, WE WOULD LIKE TO ESTABLISH WITH VENDOR ASSISTANCE MORE CONVENIENT INSTALLATION TIMES FOR CUSTOMERS AND ADDITONAL EDUCATION FOR INSTALLATION STAFF SO THAT THEY MAY BETTER EXPLAIN PRODUCT TO CUSTOMER EVALUATE OTHER STATE PROGRAMS TO SEEK NEW WAYS TO INCREASE AND IMPROVE CUSTOMER ENROLLMENT
