Our Goal

Guardian’s mission is to control and monitor vehicles driven by convicted DUI offenders, thus ensuring public safety while allowing these offenders to remain productive members of society. We accomplish this mission through State of the Art technology coupled with the Guardian Responsible Driver Program.

Drinking and Driving has become the single largest cause of highway deaths in America. In fact, nearly 40 percent of all highway deaths involve alcohol. And though shocking, the majority of DUI offenders continue to drive regardless of court-imposed sanctions.

Guardian believes that everyone deserves a second chance. And we believe in protecting the safety of pedestrians and motorists. Thus, we have implemented the Guardian Responsible Driver Program, allowing DUI offenders to lawfully participate as productive members of society by operating their vehicles under continuous supervision.

To protect both participants and the public, we provide a disciplined process of education, monitoring, and reporting.

How the Program Works

The program starts when an offender is sentenced to have a Guardian Interlock Device installed on his or her vehicle. The Guardian Interlock Device is a breath analyzer that is attached to the ignition system of the vehicle. Each time a participant starts the car, he or she must first blow into the unit.

The unit determines if the breath alcohol level is above or below a preset legal limit. If it is below this limit, the participant may start the car. If it is above the limit, the unit prevents the vehicle from starting.
