Nationwide ARM Program- Driving While License Suspended Program (DWLS)
Nationwide ARM Program offers court ordered and prevention programs.
We have been partnered with courts since 1999, helping defendants in the criminal justice system accept responsibility and arm themselves with better alternatives through our programs.
We are dedicated to achieving our goals by employing proven strategies to change offenders’ values and beliefs, build their competency skills and hold them accountable. The result is reduced recidivism, improved public safety and enhanced quality of life for those in our communities. We strive to be an integral partner of a model justice system.
We envision: Offenders taking responsibility for their behavior, enhancing their skills and leading lawful lives. Our communities benefiting from a reduced recidivism rate and confidently investing in the criminal justice process.
Our organization is also expanding our juvenile and youth prevention eLearning programs and services in schools throughout Michigan.
The DWLS Program is a one-day course designed to target drivers identified as having received a driving while license suspended charge.
This program provides participants with information and tools to help them understand the process through which a driver license is suspended, how to resolve outstanding court and state department responsibilities, and eligibility requirements for license reinstatement. The course will also address ways to prevent further infractions or penalties. Further discussion will help participants explore how attitude and behavior contribute positively or negatively to goal achievement. A local lawyer also joins the last half hour of the class to answer questions from participants. Motivation for positive change will be emphasized.
