The DUI BOLO may include the driver’s name, last known address, DOB, <br />description, current license status, and the number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. DUI <br />BOLOs should be updated and distributed to traffic and patrol officers at least monthly. <br /> Implementation of the STEP grant activities will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high <br />crash locations. <br />Media Requirements: <br />Issue a press release approved by the OTS PIO announcing the kick-off of the grant by November 15, <br />but no sooner than October 1. The kick-off release must be approved by the OTS PIO and only <br />distributed after the grant is fully signed and executed.
