POLD SURVEY

The Place of Last Drink (POLD) Surveys is a scientifically tested survey and data collection process* to identify the place of last drink of DUI offenders. It has been supported for 15 years in several counties across the state and is designed as part of a community partnership to drive prevention efforts.

*Survey questions were developed and tested by reputable researchers: John Clapp SDSU, Kristin Donovan from EVAL Corp.

The purpose of the survey is to gather data that will help reduce DUI related incidents by

• Identifying high risk retailers (e.g. bars, liquor stores, restaurants)
