This course will offer additional information to law enforcement officers on detecting impairment caused by more than just alcohol. Often law enforcement officers that have not received advanced or in-service training regarding drug impairment tend to not be able to identify these characteristics; therefore, they will release an impaired driver. Once an officer completes the training, he/she will be more proficient with the 3 battery of tests (HGN, WAT, OLS), as well as a broader knowledge of drug impairment indicators. The law enforcement officer will also be more familiar with the DRE program and its function. This will facilitate better communication and transfer of critical roadside indicators of impairment to the evaluating DRE officer for a more complete and accurate assessment of the impairment. ARIDE is a 16-hour training course taught by DRE instructors or SFST instructors who are also DREs. The training will be conducted under the control and approval of the DEC Program state coordinator. This course encompasses information and techniques for addressing the drug and alcohol impaired driving problem.
The following topics are discussed and/or delivered in detail throughout the entire curriculum:
- Update of Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Battery
- How drug impaired driving affects our community
- SFST Proficiency Examination
- Drugs in the human body and the impairing effects they may have
- Seven categories of drugs identified by the DEC Program
- Additional sobriety tests that will provide an expanded knowledge of detection to law enforcement
- Provide an expanded knowledge of prosecuting drug impaired drivers to prosecutors and courts
