(Wisconsin Radio Network) Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul shares thoughts on impaired driving.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, in a year end interview, the AG said intervention and treatment can play a role in reducing OWI cases. Kaul said for those struggling with addiction, having interventions happen early in the process, and following up to support those is likely to reduce the number of cases.

The Democratic AG said the state has some good programs in place for addiction and substance use treatment. Law enforcement will be out on New Years Eve, traditionally one of the most dangerous times for crashes involving drunk drivers.

Kaul says he knows Wisconsin’s district attorneys make appropriate charging decisions in OWI cases.
