Victim Impact Panel
The purpose of the Victim Impact Panel (VIP) program is to help drunk and drugged driving offenders to recognize and internalize the lasting and long-term effects of substance-impaired driving. The classes seek to create an empathy and understanding of the tragedy, leave a permanent impression that leads to changes in thinking and behavior and prevents future offenses.
At a VIP, victims, survivors and others impacted by substance-impaired driving crashes speak briefly about the crash in which they were injured and/or a loved one was killed or injured. They share a first-person account of how the crash impacts their lives.
They do not blame or judge. They simply tell their stories, describing how their lives and the lives of their families and friends were affected by the crash.
Panels also provide victims with a healing opportunity to share their stories in a meaningful way.
