PUBLIC NOTICE - - - BATON ROUGE CITY SOBRIETY COURT COMPLETES FY 2024 – 2025 GRANT YEAR The Baton Rouge City Sobriety Court has continued its mission to increase public safety by reducing the number of repeat impaired driving offenders with the funding provided by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC) for the fiscal year that began October 1, 2024, ending September 30, 2025. Since 2010, the Court has worked in partnership with the LHSC and the Louisiana Supreme Court - Drug and Specialty Court Office to treat 345 repeat offenders thereby increasing the safety of the city and surrounding areas. Statistics show that the rate of recidivism is reduced by 20 percent after completing a Sobriety Court program. This is due to the high accountability rate for individuals who participate in the program. The Court’s emphasis on Incentives and Sanctions has the therapeutic benefits of allowing participants to be empowered in having a sense of ownership through their steps of sobriety and recovery.
