In 2006, the Office of Adult Court Services introduced the Victim Impact Panel program to Fauquier County.  The program serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers of impaired driving.  These panels, conducted on a quarterly basis, are comprised of victims of alcohol-related crashes.  They give firsthand accounts of how drinking and driving has changed their lives.  The majority of audience members have been ordered by the court to attend the panel as a result of a DWI conviction or alcohol related charge.  To date, over 3,500 people have successfully completed the Victim Impact Panel Program.

In conjunction with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.), the panels are held on a quarterly basis for anyone who would like to attend.
