‘OWI Defense Challenges and Practical Tips’ provided online

The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan will present the Traffic Safety Training Program Webinar “OWI Defense Challenges and Practical Tips for the Road Officer Handling OWI Investigations” on Thursday, May 30, from 1 to 2 p.m. via Zoom.

Defense attorneys challenge Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) cases through every phase of the investigation.  It’s important for road officers handling OWI investigations to be familiar with these challenges and to use this information to sharpen their investigations and police report writing.

This webinar, presented by Michigan Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor Kinga Canike, will explore some of the most common OWI defense challenges and provide road officers with practical tips that they can start incorporating in their next OWI investigation to help their case overcome any challenges the defense may raise in the case.  The webinar will also cover police report writing and courtroom testimony basics for road officers.   

This course is approved for 1 hour of credit under PAAM’s recommended CLE Best Practice.
