Letter from Major Gonzales - DPS Austin

RE:            Letter of Support for the DWI Process Reduction Project

This letter is to inform you of the Texas Department of Public Safety’s support for the Law Enforcement Advanced DUI/DWI Reporting System (LEADRS) developed by the Texas Municipal Police Association (TMPA).  This system has eliminated the redundancy that is involved in DWI paperwork and has reduced the number of precious man hours previously spent on the DWI arrest

procedure. 

The Texas Department of Public Safety has approved the use of LEADRS by its personnel.  We fully support the efforts that are being put forth to initiate the system on a statewide level and to

develop additional system modules for intoxilyzer and blood test information.

We believe it is important that TMPA continue its efforts with this program and that TMPA should be granted approval to improve LEADRS, to fully implement it in all police departments across

the state of Texas, and to integrate intoxilyzer and blood test information into the system.

The Texas Department of Public Safety supports the Texas Municipal Police Association in its efforts to reduce the number of DWI offenders and save lives through this enhanced reporting

system.
