Court Reporting Network
All persons arrested for Driving Under the Influence are to be evaluated using the Court Reporting Network instruments issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and any other additional evaluation techniques deemed appropriate by the court to determine the extent of the person’s involvement with alcohol or controlled substances and to assist the court in determining what sentencing, probation or conditions of Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition would benefit the person or the public. This 45 minute-hour interview includes questions pertaining to family history, medical background, drinking patterns and personal attitudes.
CRNs must be completed in the county where the DUI occurred.
