D- ,6& ommissioner Application Community DUII Prevention Mini -Grant Program From contract signing through September 30, 2002 Organization Information Agency Name: La Pine Youth Diversion Services / Deschutes Co. Sheriff's Office Agency Address: PO Box 2035, La Pine, Or. 97739 Project Director: Mary Fleischmann, Program Coordinator Address: PO Box 2035, La Pine, Or. 97739 Telephone: 541-536-5002 FAX: 541-536-5766 Federal Tax ID#: 93 — 6002292 Project Information Proposed Project Name: "One death is One too many" Campaign Project Description: What we know is that for the year 2000, information collected from the Deschutes County Sheriffs Office, the Oregon State Police, the Bend Police Department and the Redmond Police Department show there is a very real problem with youth under the age of 21 who drink and drive. The statistics tell us that in Deschutes County there were 54 DUII's, 296 Minor in possession citations (of which 60 of those involved youth in cars — not driving, but in a car), and 2 fatalities. The "One death is One too many" Campaign will focus on the month of December 2002, which is The National Drunk and Drugged Driving (313) Prevention Month. We will immerse the county with youth public service announcements, community forums, education of police and adults about this issue of underage drinking and driving. There will be a county proclamation for December being the month of "One death is One too many". Start Date: November 1, 2001 Completion Date: June 30, 2001 Partnering agencies and organizations: Deschutes County Sheriffs Department, Bend Police Department, Redmond Police Department, Oregon State Police, Deschutes Co. Commission on Children and Families, Deschutes Co. Prevention Office, La Pine Teen Court, Redmond Teen Court, Sisters Teen Court, Bend Teen Court, City of Bend Traffic Safety Committee, Local Car Towing Companies, Deschutes Co. Juvenile Community Justice Dept., local insurance companies and Trauma Nurses. Mini -grant Funds Requested: $5000.00 Grant Questionnaire 1. How will the project help prevent drug and alcohol -involved traffic crashes, injuries or deaths? Through the use of a county -wide immersion approach it is our hope to: a) educate the public regarding statistics, laws, etc.; b) spark an interest in parents on the issue of not only their child's safety, but also the accountability they have in this problem; c) educate law enforcement of the importance to cite youth at MIP parties; d) involve youth to be part of the solution and to assist in spreading the word and e) assist the local Traffic Safety Committee to make this an annual event. 2. What DUII prevention need does the project address in your community? Awareness, many parents are not aware of youth parties or functions and don't ask. Many parents do not think about the fact that their child may either drive or ride in a car while someone is intoxicated. Citing youth at MIP parties is always at the law enforcement officer's discretion, which gives youth a very mixed message. Law enforcement officers need to have more information about why it is important to cite youth. The statistical information simply is not shared consistently in the county and it needs to be. Youth need to know more real truths about this issue. 3. How is this project innovative? This project will be a collaborative approach, which will involve youth in the process. The PSA's will specifically be designed to attract youth's interests and played on the radio stations they listen to. We will be sending the message out on a specific month to get the awareness and education out there. This project will also incorporate getting the message out from members of the communities who have not been asked to come forward before, for example, towing companies, insurance companies, etc. 4. How will you leverage other community resources or non-governmental partners? The contacts already exist in all areas of the county. The county DiversionfTeen court programs already have contacts with community resources about this issue. There is nothing that targets this age group at the community level and so many partners will jump at an opportunity to play a role. The biggest leverage is that this is a county that is growing, as is the youth population. The "Know Assets, Know Youth " Initiative is very much involved with areas of concerns regarding our young people and can play a key role in getting this message out. N 5. How does the project educate residents of your community about DUII prevention and traffic safety? Education is done through the sharing of "local statistics", public forums that discuss youth choices, legal consequences and alternatives for making a bad/wrong choices, education of law enforcement personnel to this issue and using radio media as a way to reach out to young people. 6. How will you reach out to members of the community so they know your project exists? We will be using radio stations with PSA's, the county internet web page, flyers, newspapers, spots on the local TV stations, messages from the School Resource Officers, county teen court programs, notices to the county judges about the project, letters in the school newsletters and a proclamation from the County Board of Commissioners. 7. How does this project support the goals and objectives of existing and future DUII prevention efforts? Presently there is zero tolerance of underage youth drinking and driving. The problem is that it is not enforced until "after" the fact. Through community collaboration and getting families to have a better awareness of the issue then we can look at there being a more collective attitude on zero tolerance. This project supports this position 100% and the goal is to get the communities as a whole to embrace this position. 8. What will happen if this project is not supported by mini -grant funds? The mini -grant funding allows us the opportunity to begin this process. If these funds were not available ... it is highly unlikely that we could begin this process. 9. How will you evaluate your project? What data or information will you collect to show whether this project was successful? We will compare statistical data from January 2001 with January 2002. It would be nice if we saw a decrease in the criminal reports. Also we will look at if the Community Traffic Safety Committee will decide to make this an annual event for the county. 3 Project Budget Form: -tnctuae aescrtpnon of specyic items to be purchased with grant funds.
