California gears up for more DUI prosecutions

---

This year, California prosecutors announced they received a Federal grant in the amount of .6 million to reduce DUI / Drunk Driving in the State of California.

Funding is to assist in the hiring of prosecutors to train other prosecutors on how to better handle DUI / Drunk Driving prosecutions.

The ultimate goal is to increase the 77% conviction rate of all DUI / Drunk Driving arrests in the state of California. In addition to convicting more people for DUI / Drunk Driving, the state also hopes to generate more sources of revenue as a result of court fines imposed upon a DUI / Drunk Driving conviction.
