24/7 Sobriety: Wyoming legislation updates fundamentals of alcohol compliance program

Practically speaking, it will not change law enforcement’s role too much in dealing with alcohol offenders on the road. Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office staff and Lt. Emily Hizer, who oversees the Sheridan County Detention Center, is in the process of writing policy to help with the transition of the “quick dip,”—a short amount of time spent in jail before seeing a judge as soon as possible—into the judicial system. From now until July, when the law is enacted, law enforcement will continue its system of sharing the burden of testing for alcohol compliance.
