Which of the following is NOT a phase of OWI detection?

The process for detecting Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) typically involves a sequence of phases to gather evidence and assess a driver’s condition. One of the key elements of this process is driver identification, which plays a critical role in the larger framework of OWI detection. After observing a vehicle in motion, law enforcement officers focus on personal contact when approaching the driver to assess their sobriety.

In the context of OWI detection phases, vehicle in motion is the initial observation of the vehicle’s operation, personal contact involves interaction with the driver to evaluate their demeanor and signs of impairment, and pre-arrest screening refers to field sobriety tests and other assessments conducted to determine the driver's intoxication level.

Driver identification, while vital during a traffic stop and for ensuring correct legal proceedings, does not represent a distinct phase in the OWI detection process as outlined within the structured approach to determining impairment. Instead, it is integral to all the phases of detecting an OWI, rather than a standalone phase on its own.
