The next DUI (Driving Under the Influence) Task Force meeting will be at the Comfort Inn in Butte: 12:00 on Tuesday -September 21, 2010. 

DUI (Driving Under the Influence) has become the acronym that underscores the risk of drinking and driving to our personal, family, and community safety. The Butte-Silver Bow DUI Task Force is one way anyone can be involved and informed. They are asking for more involvement from parents, teachers, business men and women, other community coalitions, and community members in general.

Task Force agenda items typically center around issues of driving under the influence, minors in possession of alcohol or drugs, penalties for offenders, and community education. Sheriff John Walsh chairs the meetings; others who regularly attend are other law enforcement officers, judges, prevention and chemical dependence services of the Health Department, attorneys, commissioners, and interested community members. The meetings are always interesting; become involved in the decision-making processes that affect our every-day lives.
