Ignition Interlock is a rapidly growing service in DWI prevention. Those who have been arrested for drunk driving are ordered to have one on their vehicle for a certain amount of time, usually from 6 months to a year. ESCAPE realized the need to provide Interlock services for those consumers involved in both SATOP, or meeting Ignition Interlock requirements. The devices require the vehicle operator to provide a breath sample prior to starting the car. If alcohol is detected the device prevents the vehicle from starting. Currently Missouri requires the device to be installed on the vehicle of an individual that has had two, or more, DWI's and to show proof to the Department of Revenue, License Bureau, prior to their license being re-instated. The device must then be maintained on that vehicle for at least 6-months. There is pending legislation to require the same of those that receive their first DWI.
We at ESCAPE Interlock try to make this as convenient
as possible while treating everyone with dignity and respect.
