FAQ’s

A victim impact panel is made of individuals who have been personally affected by the harmful decision to drive under the influence. Panels are administered in a traditional class-like setting. Attendees listen while a host of panelists speak. Active interaction is not required but attendees are encouraged to do so properly.

The panels offered by Project VIP LLC are typically court-ordered although our classes are available for all. In order to attend the panel, we require attentiveness and some form of identification. Our goal is to provide a platform that amplifies victims’ voices in hopes of a better tomorrow.

The panels conducted are given solely in hopes of preventing recidivism and providing education on the harmful impacts caused by drunk and drugged driving. Driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol can result in injury to innocent civilians or those committing the crime of injuring or killing themselves as a result of drinking and driving. We have one goal in mind; eventually leading to the eradication of driving under the influence.

Many states require those convicted of impaired driving to attend a victim impact panel as part of their diversion or post-adjudication education requirements. The panels offered by Project VIP LLC are typically aimed toward DUI offenders who have been court-ordered to attend in need of a certificate although our classes are available for all. If you have completed an assessment and were appointed by an accessor, judge, department of public safety, probation/parole, or attorney and was told you needed to complete Victim Impact Panel that is what we provide.

Attendees are given certificates at the completion of the panel. These certificates are guaranteed as long as an attendee is participating, attentive, and respectful. If an attendee is not acting in accordance, we have the authority to politely excuse said attendee and provide a different opportunity for another chance at obtaining a panel completion certification. Attendees are not permitted to sleep, be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or engage in disrespectful or distracting behavior.

No, online Victim Impact Panels are not allowed for those sentenced in the state of Oklahoma and Arkansas. All Project VIP victim impact panels are live in-person panels that an attendee must attend to receive a state-approved certificate.

Victim Impact Panels last approximately 1 hour 30 mins to 2 hours. During the entirety of the panel, we ask that attendees are respectful and attentive to our speakers. Attendees are not guaranteed admittance if they are not at the panel location by the start time. We recommend arrival 5-10 minutes prior to the panel start time.

Certificate replacements are copies of certificates. The certificate duplications are $30. We will issue all replacements and duplications in a timely manner. As disclosed at the end of every panel, we highly encourage attendees to make copies of their certificates themselves but we are understanding of mishaps resulting in the need for a replacement.

Naturally, some attendees are worried that they’re in for public shaming. Project VIP does not believe in the harassment of attendees for their actions. That’s not how our victim impact panels work. The idea is to tell the stories of victims so that the next time anyone is drinking or taking drugs and considers getting behind the wheel, he or she will see real people on the road and make the decision to find a safe way home.

We are here for victims. Our platform is made with the sole purpose of having your story heard to eliminate drunk and drugged driving. If you would like to speak at our panels please contact us at +1(405)889-0020 or by email at [email protected]. Speaking at a Project VIP panel is often therapeutic and aids in the healing process.  Victims’ stories have the effect to offer change in offenders, therefore helping prevent someone else from going through the suffering endured by victims.

Often an unheard perspective Project VIP allows offenders to speak. We hope that an opportunity for remorseful offenders to take full accountability and responsibility for their past actions in hopes of eliminating repentance of their decision in the future.

First responders are also welcome to speak.
