SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Police Department has changed its policy on how it conducts eyewitness identifications. Under the department's new procedures, a potential witness will no longer be shown an array of mug pictures all at once. Research shows that practice increases the chances of a misidentification.

Bexar County is trying a new tactic for treating repeat-DWI offenders that focuses on rehabilitation rather than just punishment. Studies show that in San Antonio, one out of every five drivers arrested for DWI has been arrested before. "They will do their time. They come out with the same problem going in.
