The purpose of the Drugged Driving course (4 or 8 hour) is to
acquaint the law enforcement officer with the information now
becoming available on the recognition of individuals who may be
medically impaired or under the influence of drugs other than
alcohol, and to assist law enforcement in preparing to prosecute
such cases. It is clear that police officers responsible for
traffic law enforcement will encounter drug-impaired drivers.
The best available data suggest that tens of millions of
Americans routinely use drugs other than alcohol and many drive
while they are under the influence of those drugs. Some
drug-impaired drivers look and act very much like
alcohol-impaired drivers. Others look and act very differently.
All of them are dangerous, to themselves and to everyone else on
the road. Registration is through the sponsoring department's training
office or contact Pam Mays at the Criminal Justice Institute 501-570-8035. As scheduled training time and location may change, confirmation
should be made through the agency's training office.
