The Carbon County Commission approved a cooperative agreement with the Utah Department of Public Safety to implement the 24/7 sobriety diversion program for individuals arrested on DUI-related offenses.
A representative from the sheriff’s office (Speaker 9) explained the program as a state-funded diversion that supplies electronic monitoring equipment and monitoring tools so eligible participants can remain in the community and keep their employment while being monitored. "They provide electronic monitors for us and all the tools we need to monitor them on the outside," the sheriff’s representative said.
Commissioners discussed program details briefly and approved the agreement by motion and recorded vote.
The program is state-funded and the sheriff’s office said existing community supervision staff will handle local monitoring duties. No additional local funding was recorded in the meeting minutes.
Next steps noted in the meeting were implementation by the sheriff’s office under the terms of the cooperative agreement.
