‘Nuts & Bolts of an OWI Case 2025’
presented online


The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan will present the Traffic Safety Training Program Webinar “Nuts & Bolts of an OWI Case 2025” on Tuesday, August 26, from 9 a.m. to noon via Zoom.

Officers handling Operating While Intoxicated cases must have a solid foundation of the “nuts and bolts” of these types of investigations. Having a solid foundation of the basics will allow officers to build on their OWI investigative skills as they advance in their careers. 

This training will cover all the “nuts and bolts” that go into making a solid and complete OWI investigation that will help prosecutors hold impaired driving offenders responsible for their dangerous actions. 

Prosecutors and city attorneys handling OWI cases also need to have a solid understanding of how law enforcement officers investigate these cases so that they can effectively present them in court to a jury and work with officers to provide proper testimony on direct examination, how to admit chemical test results at trial, and how to prepare the officer for cross examination on the witness stand.

Topics to be covered in the training include OWI Detection Phases; How to Recognize a Drugged Driver and the Seven Drug Categories; Surviving the Courtroom.
This program is designed for prosecutors, assistant prosecutors, law enforcement, and traffic safety personnel.
