Alberta has more to say.
“We’ve been told most people want to focus on repeated drunken drivers so that’s where we have settled.  We’re finding the first-time offenders aren’t the big re-offenders if you look at where it is, it’s second (offense) and above.” 

A couple of things here.

You've been told by whom, Alberta? 

Furthermore, I'm pretty sure all of those repeat offenders were first-time offenders once upon a time.  (That second sentence is pure gibberish.)
