TELFORD, Pa. — The 39th annual Pennsylvania Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Association’s annual meeting brings together law enforcement professionals, managers for DUI programs, probation officers and others to educate attendees on the many aspects of impaired driving. This year’s conference titled, “Rolling Stoned” – New Challenges in Impaired Driving, aims to provide new education and training that can ultimately help reduce incidents of impaired driving on our nation’s roadways.
