Victim Impact Panel

Registration information below!

The Putnam County Victim Impact Panel (VIP) Program is a collaboration between The Prevention Council of Putnam, Putnam County Probation Department and Putnam County STOP DWI. The program provides bi-monthly forums on the consequences of drunk driving from people whose lives have been impacted by a drunk driver. Other panel members include people in recovery, emergency services providers, police officers, or even a DWI/DWAI offender. People convicted of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI) are mandated by the courts to attend VIP with the aim of reducing recidivism.

VIP is held the third Tuesday of  every other month starting in January. Due to COVID-19 all VIP are held virtually until further notice.

Cancellations due to inclement weather will be on WHUD Radio Station 100.7 and listed on their website whud.com, as well as on our Facebook page
