• Impaired Driver (MIDAS) Database– Supports CRO administrative functions– Produces new source database

• LETS Integration– Searches and record retrievals (no update)– Information accessible to field statewide

• CARE Integration– To provide statistical analysis of new data– Evaluation and information mining

Three Phases (Years)Three Phases (Years)Three Phases (Years)Three Phases (Years)

• Phase 1 – Basic System Infrastructure– Administrative system– Data and information generation

• Phase 2 – Improve Info Timeliness/Use– Integration with E-citation– Information delivery to field (LETS)

• Phase 3 – Add Drug Courts
