Monday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Room: 208

ARIDE is intended to bridge the gap between the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) and the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC/DRE) programs by providing officers with general knowledge related to drug impairment and by promoting the use of DREs in states that have the DEC program. The ARIDE program stresses the importance of the signs and symptoms of the seven drug categories. This course will train law enforcement officers to observe, identify, and articulate the signs of impairment related to drugs, alcohol, or a combination of both, in order to reduce the number of impaired driving incidents as well as crashes which result in serious injuries and fatalities. This course will educate other criminal justice professionals (prosecutors, toxicologists, judges, etc.) to understand the signs of impairment related to drugs, alcohol, or a combination of both, to enable them to effectively work with law enforcement in order to reduce the number of impaired driving incidents as well as crashes which result in serious injuries and fatalities. All participants must be SFST proficient, must pass SFST proficiency demonstration at time of entry into class, and complete the ARIDE registration form.
