Sobriety Check
Thanks to a little creativity, OAG is using a new educational program to make District streets and our youth safer. As part of a deferred sentencing agreement, OAG required a first-time DUI offender with medical training to write a curriculum designed to educate college students about alcohol use and converted this information into a new program called “Sobriety Check.” This innovative communityoutreach program aimed at incoming freshmen alerts youth to the consequences of abusing alcohol and drugs, and includes a “Jeopardy!”-like game that tests students on the information learned throughout the program. OAG recently launched the Sobriety Check program at Howard University and will continue presenting at colleges and universities across the District.
