The Orange County District Attorney’s Office has received $1.8 million in grants from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) that will provide needed resources for the prosecution of drunk and drugged driving cases both in the county and statewide.

The announcement comes after the DA’s Office was selected by OTS to continue serving as the statewide training agency to teach law enforcement and lawyers how to effectively prosecute impaired driving cases.
