Vehicular Crimes Unit

The primary responsibility of the Unit is to oversee and provide support to assistants in DWI and DWI related Homicide and Assault prosecutions. Too often, innocent lives are destroyed in horrible crashes and the Unit ensures that the perpetrators face justice. These cases are often very technical and involve crash reconstruction principles including speed from skid and yaw marks, pedestrian throw analyses and CRUSH analyses. The Unit also aids Assistants in obtaining blood search warrants in order to preserve the blood alcohol content of a suspended intoxicated driver. The Unit is also responsible for prosecuting misdemeanor and felony cases involving unlicensed drivers or drivers whose driving privileges have been suspended or revoked by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
